[01:00.79]What do you want?' 'I want the same as all men gold and a beautiful wife.
[01:09.15]But what must I do for you?'the soldier asked.
[01:14.32]'You must not wash, shave,cut your hair,
[01:21.68]blow your nose or change your clothes for fifteen years,' the Devil said.

[01:54.96]'You have three beautiful daughters,' the soldier said.
[02:00.53]'Let me have one of them for a wife and I lend you some money.'
