The Jack!

Once upon a time in the green Ireland lived an old drunkard named Jack 
he liked to mock everybody.

Once he met the Devil and he made a  joke also to him, "I Bet" he told him" that you are not able to climb that tree and take an apple". The Devil Laughed and  immediately he was on the tallest branch.

Quickly Jack drew a cross in the trunk so  the Devil could not leave the tree.
Jack told the devil "I will cancel this sign only if you promise me that you won't come again to take me." The Devil promised, and went away. 

Finally  the end of Jack's life arrived and  the old man Jack went toward heaven. 
When he arrived, he  knocked to the door.  St. Peter checked' his registers, and told " Here  you  cannot enter".

Then Jack went back to the earth but he noticed that he could not stay longer there. 

Desperate, he went to hell but the the Devil told:" Here I don't want you" 
"Give me at least a brand. The road is dark and I can't see where I go," Jack told. 
Then the Devil gave him a  brand. Jack put it into a pumpkin  and went away guided by this light. 

Since then he's rambling on  all around the world and, in the night of HALLOWEEN, everybody can see him and his lighted pumpkin.
