“A deal! Let’s make a deal!”, said the devil. “No! Absolutely not!”, said the man with big eyes. “Yes! Let’s make a deal!”, said the man with a big mouth. The man with a big mouth’s yard became a flower garden. The man with big eyes became destitute and starved. The man with a big mouth was cheerful every day. He was full from all his ripened fruit. That is why he did not notice. His flower garden was wilting away. In the garden where no flower would ever bloom again the man with a big mouth cried and muttered: “I should never have made a deal with the devil.” The man with big eyes was so hungry, that he thought he would die. Shedding tears, he muttered: “I should have made a deal with the devil.”
