    that the man had cloven feet. John had two vicious dogs at home, and each time he would win a game afterwards, he would let a whistle for the dogs. The man noticing him whistle often, asked, "why do you whistle so often." "Just because I am in a good mood," said John. Time wore on, and at length the dogs came. John arose and said, "Put him away". The dogs leaped at the man, and instantly, man, table, cards, and chairs, went away in a blaze of fire. The following morning John arose and found his two dogs lying dead.
