This is an old story from tradition my grandma used to tell us when we were kids. She said, once upon a time an old woman wanted to see how the devil works. One day the devil appeared to her and she asked him about his work. He took her to a ruined house and opened an old cupboard. In the cupboard she saw a stone, a stick, and a sweeper. Then he said to her these are my tools and I use them 24 hours. The old woman asked him about how he used the tools? He replied that he uses the stick to beat the kids to make noise to irritate the parents, and the stone to make rich people sick not able to eat, and the sweeper to clean the stomach of the kids of poor people to make them hungry all the time. The old woman was terrified and ran away and never asked again about the jobs of the devil. God protect us. please put your comment.

Hi Sima, Thank you for your comment on the story. See you again on the EC pages.
This is really wise and tactful story and i believe that poverty is the reason of every sin :D and another way that evil works ..thanks of your grandma and thanks for sharing :-)
MMm dr, though it is curiosity tht move the world.
Sorry I can't get it :( God protect us if we dont know about devil's work? How can we fight evel if we don't know it?
Still it is true that if we are curios about things that are far above us and above our power to corect, we can only believe that God will protect us; there's no help to look for distress in places we cannot do nothing.
