The Ring Around the Card Players in the Smithy at Dalby
Värmland · Sweden · Site of legend
A stranger joined the card game, and a ring closed ever tighter around the three – until the priest drove out Old Erik one Sunday morning.
At Dalby two old men sat down to play cards in a smithy, and a stranger joined them. As they played a ring formed around them that slowly closed in. On Sunday morning people came, saw the danger and fetched the priest, who drove out Old Erik. Had the ring closed, or had they sat until the priest mounted the pulpit, they would have been taken.
