有一天,一个男孩出去买面包,在大街上恰好遇到市长正在穿过马路。“你知道他为什么能当那么大的官吗?那是因为他和魔鬼有过约定。”一个女人这样告诉男孩,男孩听了似懂非懂。过了一会儿,男孩要去乡下的一个镇子,他在半路上看到了路旁有几块玉米地,地里的玉米长得又大又好。走到近处时,他问路旁人:“这几块玉米地的主人是谁啊?”“这些地都是一个农场主的,我敢说,是有魔鬼帮了他一手。”路旁的一个农人回答他。 One day, a boy went out for bread and met the mayor on the street just across the road. “Do you know why he can be such a big officer? That is because he and the devil have agreed. ” A woman told the boy, the boy listened understandably. After a while, the boy was going to a town in the country where he saw on the half-way a few cornfields where the corn was big and nice. When he got close, he asked the passers-by: “Who are the masters of these cornfields?” “These are all the landowners. I dare say that there is a devil who helped him.” A farmer on the road answered him.
