There was a little devil stuck in the fork! Ivan shouted, “You said you would go away!” “I am another one,” said the devil. “You met my brother before.” “I do not care who you are. I will kill you any-way,” said Ivan. “Please don’t!” cried the devil. “I can make you soldiers from straw!” “What are soldiers good for?” asked Ivan. “They can do almost anything for you.” replied the devil. “Then show me how to make them,” Ivan said. The little devil rubbed straw together and said some magic words. Soon there were many soldiers marching around the barn. “Now let me go,” said the devil. “Wait,” said Ivan. “Many soldiers need a lot of food. How do I turn them back to straw?”
