When he had looked around, however, and discovered the devil very busy making himself at home, he picked up a big stick to drive the devil out.

"Just a minute," said the devil. "What are you going to do with that big stick?"

"I'm going to get rid of you. I don't want to live with you," replied the man, raising the stick above the devil's head.
