The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs (8) [Three Golden Hair Devil]

The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs (8)

He walked even further north and came to a great river.

A ferryman with long gray hair  and an even longer gray beard asked him who he was and what his trade.

" I have no trade, " the boy admitted.
"But I have good fortune in all I do. "

" Then child of fortune, " said the ferryman, " perhaps you can help me with mine, for it is all bad. I must now back and forth, forth and back across the river and cannot seem to get free of my boat.  

" I will have an answer for you when I have been to get the three golden hairs from the Devil, " the boy said.

" Then I will know soon enough, "said the ferryman, " for on the other side of this river is the entrance to Hell.
Climb aboard and I will row you over. "

SO the boy climbed in, and in a twinkling, the ferryman had eowed him across.

The entrance to Hell was black and sooty, and the inside worse.

The boy walked right into the Devil's own chamber, but the Devil himself was not home.
Only his grandmother was there, an impish-looking old woman knitting a long, dark strand.
