    Once upon a time three men were returning from devotions. One of the men had a most awful fashion of cursing. Coming along the dark part of the road his bicycle got punctured and he began to course. The other two men were horrified suddenly one of gave a cry of alarm and pointed to the second man the other man looked and was terrified to see the devil sitting on the second mans shoulder and from that day to this they would not be seen in his company.
