- (continued from previous page)one day while he was out in the field he met satan and satan said to the man I have come for your wife I hear she is very troublesome.
Very good said the old man so satan put the old woman on his back and made away for hell. When he got there he set her down and he opened hell gates to let her in.
There were two devils who were tied up in chains the old woman scattered there brains.
So satan put her on his back and started for home. They were seven years going to hell and nine days coming back he said to the old man here is your wife safe and well for the likes of her we would not have in hell.
