Inktober 2019 – Day Twenty-Seven – Coat

Before long the wind began to howl, and the devil stood before him, looking at him angrily. He threw Bearskin’s old jacket to him and demanded the return of his own green one.

“We haven’t gotten that far yet,” answered Bearskin. “First of all you have to clean me up.”

Whether the devil wanted to or not, he had to fetch water and wash off Bearskin, comb his hair, and cut his nails. After this he looked like a brave soldier and was much better looking than he had ever been before.
