- You should always kill a "Diól" before he turns up his tails because he was going through a corn field and was met by the Jews who asked him did Our Savour pass that way. The "Diól" said "inde". Then the Jews met a "clock" and asked him did Our Savour pass that way, the "clock" said "yes" and he got sorry and said "no". When you meet a clock if you kill him there will be seven sins off your soul.It is said that the "Diól" is the first insect that starts eating your body in the grave.
