<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1744002, member: 28550&quot;]Here&#039;s a go: &quot;A blacksmith lived in Bielefeld, with skills known to no one else. In order to improve his skills and learn secret methods, he made an alliance with the Devil. He became so famous that St. Petrus (Saint Peter?) brought his horse with a loose horseshoe. When St. Petrus offered to pay the blacksmith, the smithy did not want money. So St. Petrus made him a blessed bag that would always be full of money (not sure on that last bit).</p><p><br /></p><p>Soon after, the smithys contract with the devil came due and he came to take the blacksmith. When the devil knocked, the Smith invited him to come in through the keyhole. The devil did, but the Blacksmith was holding the money bag there and caught the devil inside. He sealed the bag, and beat it on his forge.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>From there, it gets awfully confusing. &quot;Fearing that his death was near, the Smith [did something] to get to the gates of Heaven. St. Petrus refused to let him in because of his contract with the devil. Next, he offered St. Petrus a young virgin. St. Petrus denied him entry again, but the smith sat down and refused to budge. St. Petrus remembered the help of the Smith, and allows him to stay at the gates to this day.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
