There were three of them in it. When the were crossing a ditch one of the boys had a pack of cards in his pocket. There was a stream running down by the ditch. The boy that had the cards in his pocket was flung into the stream and was nearly killed. When he got up he flung the cards away and they were put back into his hands again. One of them had to go up alone to his own house and when he parted the others he went on his way. He was not gone far until something gave him a batter of a stone and the others heard him roaring. They came back to see what happened and he was lying speechless on the road. They carried him and after a while he came too and he told them that it was the Devil that hit him.
