The boy's mother told him to make a roller to beat the laundry. The boy went into the forest, whittling and whistling. A gentleman in black clothes approached him and asked:
- What are you doing here?
- What am I doing? Yes, I’m learning to whistle.
-Can you whistle as loud as I can?
And he whistled so loudly that leaves fell from the trees.
“It’s nothing,” the boy laughs. “When I start whistling, you need to cover your eyes with a handkerchief so they don’t jump out.”
OK. The devil tied his eyes with a handkerchief. And when the boy hits the devil on the back of the head with a roller, his eyes actually pop out of his head. He just howled:
- Oh, and you whistle! - And he ran away.
