- There was once a man and he used to stay out very late every night when in a neighbours house. His wife did not like that so she and friends decided to give him a fright. One night one of them rolled himself up in a sheet and went out to meet him just at the time he used to come home at every night. At midnight he saw the man coming home. He walked out before the man and the man said who are you and he said I am the devil. The other man said shake hands for I am married to your sister.
