Here's one.
Folklore wrote:There's a story in which a farmer sells his soul to the Devil for enough money to send his three sons to school as a doctor, a priest, and a lawyer. Come the end of his life, the Devil shows up to collect, and the farmer begs for just one more day to say goodbye to his sons. The Devil agrees, and the doctor arrives to send his father off, but begs just one more hour for his brother. The priest comes in, and begs another hour, but come the third son the Devil says no more hours, so the lawyer asks him to refrain from taking his father's soul until the candle stub in the corner burns all the way down. When the Devil agrees, the lawyer blows the candle out and pockets it.
Leave it to the lawyer.
