MR. TWADOWSKI, THE MAN IN THE MOON
THERE WAS A MAN NAMED TWADOWSKI WHO WANTED SOMETHING VERY BAD.
HE WANTED IT SO BAD THAT HE MADE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL TO SELL
HIS SOUL. WHEN THE DEVIL AND HIS HELPERS CAME TO COLLECT
TWADOWSKI, HE RAN FOR A CHURCH SO THAT HE WOULD BE SAVED. THE
CHURCH WAS LOCKED. TWADOWSKI WAS CLINGING TO THE DOOR KNOB WHEN
THE DEVIL'S HELPERS CAUGHT HIM. HE WAS CLINGING SO HARD THAT THEY
HAD TO PULL THE DOOR OFF THE CHURCH TO CARRY HIM AWAY. AS THEY
WERE CARRYING HIM, HE KEPT SAYING THE HAIL MARY. WITH EACH HAIL
MARY, THE DOOR AND TWADOWSKI BECAME HEAVIER. FINALLY THE DEVIL
AND HIS HELPERS COULD NO LONGER CARRY TWADOWSKI. SO THEY DROPPED
HIM OFF ON THE MOON. AND TO THIS DAY YOU CAN STILL SEE HIS
SMILING FACE IN THE MOON.
