Summary
A brewer gave the Devil a lift in his cart, and took ill with the shock of realising what had happened.
A brewer going home in his cart late one night gave a lift to a man whom he noticed sitting at the roadside. The man never spoke, and the brewer noticed that he had a tail. The brewer was terrified. After two or three miles they came to a bridge and the man jumped out of the cart and over the bridge and disappeared in a light. The brewer realised he had been driving the Devil, and became ill with shock.
