The Peasant and the Devil: The Unwritten Ending
Once upon a time, there was a crafty and far-sighted peasant. Anyone with a parent who read them a copy of "Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales" as a child knows the tale of the farmer who bested the Devil in a game of wits. However, I happen to know what became of the farmer after the fairy tale ends. You see, dear reader, all legends and myths have a basis in truth, but once a dozen or so generations of story-tellers come and go, all having added their own little twists and embellishments and sensitivities, things tend to get hidden or disappear altogether. That is when folks of good authority (such as yours truly) come out of the woodwork to set things straight.

Great take on Matthew's challenge Thavien! I like the object you chose for this, nothing so ordinary as a napkin!
It's like someone bashed my head in and the napkin caught the mess!
This gives a whole new meaning to a napkin ❤️ Honestly, I've never thought of it so romantically!
Story messes. Love it. I've written so many.
Long live the beloved napkin!
Okay so the mundane object is the napkin or serviette or whatever it's called. I know that sometimes people scribble notes or phone numbers on it. But I don't get your last line 😅
