The story teller

She used to say: the only story that exists is life.
She told us once:
The devil lived in our town for two eternities and a day.
When he left He said:
I'm the last of the divine persuaders to sin.
They don't need me anymore.
Now-days each one has his own little demon.

Background: one of the most beloved entertainments was listening to story tellers. The story alludes to the spreading secularity among the Jews. Based on a story of B. Singer. My mother speaks, describing a woman-story-teller.
