Once two fashionable young men (who did not even believe), traveling on a steamer, saw on deck an elder, known for his faith and holy life, and they wanted to mock him...
So they approached him and said to him:
"Elder, did you hear the news?"
"What news, my children?" asked the elder.
"Didn't you learn that the devil died?"
Then the pious elder, undeterred by the impudence of the young people, put his hands on their shoulders and said to them sweetly:
"My dear children, proof that the devil is not dead is your behavior towards an elder and your words, which are inspirations of his..."!
