He only loves one thing in this world-money,
But he just lacks money.
If there is anyone in the world who loves him more than him.

That's his wife.
These two people are too greedy for money,
They even talk to each other.
Stealing.
One day, Tom
.
Walker went home through a dark forest. He stopped carefully to avoid getting stuck in the mire.
Medium. Finally, he came to a dry land. He sat on a fallen tree to rest.
I took a branch and fell to the ground unconsciously. Although, he heard that the local Indians killed the prisoners,

Suddenly,
Tom's stick landed on a hard object.
He dug it out and looked at it.
It turned out to be personal.
Skull, there is an Indian axe in the middle of the skull.
Then Tom heard a growling voice: "Don't touch it!" " "
Tom looked up at the sound,
I saw a giant sitting on a broken tree.
He has never seen such a person:
penetrate
Dressed in Indian clothes, dark skin, covered in dust, big red eyes, upright hair, holding it in his hand.
With a big axe.
"What are you doing on my land?" Asked the giant.

Tom looked at the other trees again.
There is a rich man in Massachusetts on every tree.
Name. Tom looked at the tree where he was sitting again and found a person's name on it.
Suddenly, the giant growled, "I will burn all these names this winter."
Tom said to him:
He has no right to destroy Mr Pi Bo's tree.
The giant smiled,
Say:
"Of course I have.
A long time ago,
Before the British arrived in Massachusetts,
This land is all mine.
At that time, the Indians were
Living here,
Then the British came,
Killed all the Indians
now
I taught the English how to buy and sell slaves,
Teach them how to fall. "
Walker understands now that the giant is the devil, but Tom
.
Walker is still not afraid.
The giant said:
Captain Kate buried a lot of treasure under this tree.
But unless you get permission from the giant,
any
No one can touch this treasure. He said that if Tom agreed to the devil's request, he could take the treasure with him.

Tell your wife what just happened,
In order to get Captain Kate's treasure,
His wife was worried,

But Tom said, "think about it."
So,
Mrs Tom decided to kiss.

She put all her wallets in a big bag and went to find Hei.
The devil has gone.
But two days later, she still didn't come back, and there was no news from then on. People say that Tom went again later.
Where he first met the devil,
He saw his wife's clothes hanging on the tree.
He was very happy,
Because he used it
Because this time he can get his wife's money.
But when he opened the bag, he found:
There is nothing in it.
What kind of money, only one person's heart.
Tom felt very sad,
Not because I lost my wife,
But because of the loss of money.
But he still because of this.
And thank the devil, so I look forward to seeing the devil again day and night. Tom (male name)

In exchange, captain Kate
Treasure. However, now the devil has a bigger appetite. He said that Tom must use the money as the devil's confession.
What did I do: I bought a boat and sold slaves to America. As we said before, Tom is a man who loves money.
A living person.
But even so,
Tom doesn't want to do such a bribe.
And sell it as a slave.
Dirty business in different places, so he refused. Then the devil gave him a second choice: usury and coercion.
The borrower repays it twice when it is due.
Tom said that he liked the job.
