Little Rock travel was decided to call a meeting of the townsfolk

Another week and another story from the Fireside Tales collections. this week we have How the Cobbler Cheated The Devil, which is taken from the English collection published in 2019 called Tales From The Land Of Hope And Glory...Accordingly it was decided to call a meeting of the townsfolk, to which all, old and young, should come to deliver their opinion as to the best course to be pursued, only those too old to walk, the sick, and the foolish, being not called to the council.Very many different courses were proposed, and while these were being debated a man rushed into the hall where the council was held, and informed them that their enemy was coming, for he had himself seen him making his way to the town, bearing on his shoulder a stone almost big enough to bury the place under it. He reported that the devil was yet a long way off, for his load hampered him sadly and he could not travel fast.First of all he collected together as many old boots and shoes as he could find, and when he had got them all in a bundle, he finds out the man who had seen the devil coming on, and inquired of him the way he should go to meet him. The man told him the road, and the cobbler set out. He walked, and walked, and walked, till at last he came to the devil, who was sitting by the roadside resting himself and trying to get cool, for the day was warm, and he was nearly worn out with carrying the big rock which lay beside him.Have you, indeed! says the devil, looking at them amazed, little thinking that the man was lying as he showed him pair after pair, all in holes and shreds. Well, indeed, it must be a long way off, and he looks around him, and then at the rock, and thinks what a terrible long way he has had to bring it, and begins to doubt whether, after all, since hes still got so far to go, its worth all the trouble.
