  1. There was once a house and there used to be a fighting in the house. One night a neighbour was looking for his ass. As he was passing the house he heard fighting and he saw a big black man walking up from one room to another. The neighbour went in and told the people that it was the devil that was fighting with them. They believed him and he got a mass read in the house and there was never any fighting heard after that.
