- (continued from previous page)There was a man one time, called George Reilly, threshing oats in Mickey Hands house. They were not long threshing until Mickey asked George would he like to see the devil and he said he did not care. Then Mickey got a riddle and began to riddle oats. When he was done riddling, he got a book and began reading prayers until the kitchen began to rise, and the devil put his head out of the ground. George got a flail and began to flail the devil. Mickey asked is he hurting you; no but his faith is.
