| Story told by Ben Haggarty. Mother's daughter hates Father's daughter. Mother tells Father to take his daughter into the woods and abandon her. This he does. On their journey, the girl clears a stream, cuts back a tree and nurses a dog. She then meets with the devil and tricks him into showering her with gifts and is able to escape with the help of the stream, the tree and the dog she had helped. Father's daughter returns home. Mother's daughter is jealous, so she in turn goes out to the devil's house, but her selfishness and greed results in her death as she dances with the devil. | |

| Storytelling clubs operate in a variety of formats. Some clubs provide a place where anyone can come and tell stories to a small intimate and specialist audience ('floor-spots'); while other clubs run a programme of performances by professional or semi-professional storytellers, and many clubs do a combination of both. In 2007 the UK had in the region of 55 storytelling clubs: the larger, more prominent clubs provide a low key, small-scale circuit for storytelling, for a specialist-interest audience. | |
