Три девушки и бесы
Три девушки шли по железнодорожным путям и оказались между двумя встречными поездами, но все три девушки остались живы. Рядом стояли бесы и горячо спорили:
– Ты что не скинул первую под поезд? – кричали они одному. – Её душа была бы нашей!
– Я не мог: на ней надет крестик!
– А ты почему промедлил? Вторая-то без креста! – кричали они другому.
– Она хоть и без креста, но осенила себя крестным знамением.
– Ну, а ты чего зевал? Третья-то совсем неверующая!
– Так-то оно так, да её мать перекрестила на дорогу и сказала: «Иди с Богом!»
