‘God,
thank you for watching over us always.
Please give the cow a lot of grasses this year, too.’
A devil was listening to the peasant in the bushes.
‘Hum.
Human never fail to thank God when everything goes well.
But, they never fail to blame us when bad things happen.
…How frustrating. There’s a nice devil like me.
Darn it. Just you wait and see!’
Three days had passed.
The cow had fallen into the marsh and couldn’t get out.
When the peasant found it, he was so angry.
‘What have you done! It must be a mischievous devil!’
The devil muttered in the bushes.
‘See, just as I thought.’
