The Devil and Tom Walker

 
(MUSIC)

 
Captain Kidd was captured by the English in Boston, Massachusetts and executed in the year seventeen-oh-one.

 
Tom Walker now knew that the giant was the Devil himself. But Tom Walker was still not afraid.

 
That was the end of Tom Walker. For just then, he heard a noise. He opened the door. There was the black giant, holding a black horse. The giant said, "Tom, I have come for you." He picked up Tom and put him on the horse. Then he hit the horse, which ran off, carrying Tom.

 
After Tom Walker disappeared, the government decided to take Tom's property. But there was nothing to take. All the papers which showed that Tom owned land and houses were burned to ashes. His boxes of gold and silver had nothing in them but small pieces of wood. The wood came from newly cut trees. Tom's horses died, and his house suddenly burned to ashes.
