One day a Galician went to fulfill a vow he had made to some saint. He comes to the temple and sees the devil depicted next to the saint. The Galician put half a peso in front of the devil and said:
“If you give it to one, give it to the other, too, so that you don’t get offended.”
When he was returning home, robbers attacked him and wanted to rob him. But here, out of nowhere, is the devil. He drove the robbers away.
The Galician says to himself: “God is good, but the devil is not bad either.” That's it... Trouble teaches wisdom. That is why it is said that every cloud has a silver lining.
