Earlier, the velnias used the best tools. When people didn’t know anything about scythes and other utensils, he had at least one. Once, during the hay harvest, the velnias was cutting hay with a scythe, while God, because He didn’t have a scythe, was cutting hay with a chisel. Having seen that He will get nowhere with a chisel, God set a sweet sleep on the velnias, took his scythe, cut all his hay, then put the scythe back where it belonged. When the velnias woke up, he saw that God had cut all of His hay, while he himself had only just begun. Then the velnias began to urge God to trade His chisel for the scythe. God gave him the chisel and took the scythe for Himself. When they both began to cut, things went easily for God.  That’s how God often fools the velnias. There’s even a saying to remind us of the velnias’ stupidity: As foolish as the velnias.
