The Skilful Stranger in the Card Game, Hemnes

Nordland · Norge · Site of legend

He played better than anyone – until a falling card revealed hooves instead of feet.

At Hemnes people often played cards for money, though the old folk held it a sin. One evening an unknown, unusually skilful player joined the company. When someone dropped a card and bent down, he saw that the stranger had horse's hooves instead of feet, and at that instant the guest was gone. After that night the card-playing ceased at that place.
