Once upon a time there was a boy who ran away from home. He wanted to to be rich so
he went looking for a job. When he was walking down the road he saw a man. The man was dressed
very good and he was coming toward the boy.
He asked the man if he could work for him. The man said, "I am looking for a helper. Do you know how to read?" The boy said, "Yes." The man said, "Too bad. I'm looking for a boy that can't read." The boy told him, "Maybe you can give work to my brother. He's slow and he's way in back of me." And the boy said, "Good-bye." |
|
The boy turned his poncho around and hat, and then he ran back to meet the man again
on the road. He told the man that he wanted work. The man said, "I am looking for a helper. Do you know how to
read?"
"Oh, no, sir!" said the boy. The man said, "You're in luck!" I'm looking for a boy to clean my office and my library. You can work for me." |

One day, the devil caught him reading his book of secrets, boy did he get mad!
He turned into the devil like we know him and he started to chase the boy. |
|
|
Just when he was about to catch the boy, the boy turned into a rabbit. |
|
The boy was too fast and so the devil turned into a coyote. |
|
|
And right when it looked like the devil was going to catch the boy, the boy turned into a pigeon and he flew away from the devil. |
|
The devil got even madder! And he turned into a hawk. He flew faster and better than the pigeon and almost caught him. But!. . . |
|
|
Just when the hawk was about to grab the pegion, the boy turned into a stone and fell to the ground. |
| The Devil turned himself into a piece of rice and also started to fall to the ground. When the stone hit the ground, the boy turned into a rooster, and when the piece of rice hit the ground, the rooster gobbled it up. |
