Once upon a time there was a very poor woman who had 3 sons. In desperation she agreed to sell her soul to the devil so her sons could get a good education.
The oldest son became a priest.
The middle son became a doctor.
And the youngest son became a lawyer.
On the day she was to die the devil came for her soul. "Oh please," she begged, "you will have my soul for all time, please let me say goodbye to my sons."
"Alright," said the devil. He looked around and found a candle that the old lady kept around incase of a power outage. He set it up in the holder and lit it. "You have until the candle burns itself out. Then your soul is mine."
So the old woman called her sons.
The priest was the first to arrive. He begged and pleaded with the devil. He quoted the Bible and looked for some sort of way to save his mother.
The doctor was the next to arrive. He started loading his mom up with medications to try and prolong her life, but the devil would have none of it.
Finally, the lawyer arrived and he asked the devil about the deal with his mom.
"So you're saying she has until that candle burns itself out?" He asked.
"Yes," said the devil, "once the candle has burnt itself out, then her soul is mine."
So the lawyer blew the candle out and put it in his pocket.
