“About fifty years ago several men were playing cards in a house. ...”
About fifty years ago several men were playing cards in a house. They were playing for a while when a man ran into the house. He was watching them for a while and then said he would play too. The cards were dealt and they were playing away and the man that came in running was wining all the money. After a while two cards fell. The man who was sitting beside the stranger picked them up. When he went under the table he found the stranger had hoofs. He called out another man and told him it was the devil who was playing so. The two men went home. That night a man was nearly killed and they never played cards after.
