Story
31st May 1938
Once upon a time there lived a man who was very fond of card-playing. One night as he was returning home he met a strange man on the road with a pack of cards, a table and a candle. He asked the man to play a game of cards with him, so the two got seated and they started to play. After a while a card fell on the floor. The man stooped to pick it up but he saw that the strange man had hooves instead of shoes. Then he started to pray loudly and the candle went out and the devil disappeared. The man ran home and he never went out card-playing at night again.
