262. The Devil's Nine Questions (Child 1) - (Traditional)

[CapriUni]

I just had this thought: Perhaps the ninth question is: Does she belong to God or the Devil? And the answer to *that* question is bundled within the other eight answers.

(one version I know [I think from a Jean Ritchie recording... maybe...] says "Hunger is sharper than a thorn.)

@CapriUni I think you could be right. That's the most important question after all.

@CapriUni I think the devil answered the 9th question himself when he said "you are God's and not mine" too.

I guess the ninth question was lost to time.

@SirCoughsalot Or see CapriUni's suggestion in the comment above.
