Faust was in his room and he was seated and he has a book around witchcraft of 16^th century in Europe, for him it was alone a historical subject, and he was a humanist studious and history was matter for him. Some page he has red and he has seen a case of demon possession; he smiled around this naiveties but this was sign of time, in Latin signum temporum because Faust was accustomed to translated all in Latin, language which he has studied with his mother by 3th age. He turned page and he read a form with a contract: “This form is necessary for sinful who wants give his soul to daemon, it is sufficient to sign below”, and Faust for jokey took a pen and signed this form, after he seen again the sign and he noted that he has written very good, although first letter seemed a L on contrary F, but it was alone a jokey. Faust raised eyes and on the wall he looked a female figure with withe face and yellow eyes, bald and with intense glance; then Faust asked, without astonish: “Who are you?”, and figure: “I am contractor with you have signed, and I want grant all your desires, it is sufficient that you ask, and I do it”, and Faust: “What do you want?”, and figure: “Nothing, alone your soul”, Faust was atheist and he said: “I haven’t soul, and therefore I can’t give you something which I haven’t”, and figure: “Very good! But on the contract is written that I must grand your desires, and when you will die your soul will be mine”, Faust smiled and since he thought that this was a jokey: “Well, I want be most rich”, and figure: “All humans alone rich, but yes. Look to other room”, Faust got up and he went in other room, he opened door and a mountain of money covered him, he gone out by this money almost stifled; and he was very astonish because it was true; Faust turned towards wall and: “Thank you very much”, but figure: “Wait for to thank, price of this money is very important for you, but other desires?”, Faust for a moment taught and: “I loved a my classmate, a very beautiful girl”, and he felt back a voice, which he recognized of Elisabeth, he turned and: “Betty, how do you are doing”, she was very beautiful as when Faust loved hers, and in fact he married Betty. Faust was now very happy, he has a enormous residence, a wonderful wife and four sons; the figure was always present and he has a send-glass, when a day: “Good morning Faust”, said figure, and Faust: “Good morning, what do you want?”, and figure: “That you 50 years ago has signed, your soul”, and Faust: “Yes, it is right!” and figure: “Open that door”, and Faust made it, he gone in room dark with alone light on a table, on this was a paper which was contract which has signed, and: “it is right, he raised eyes and looked figure, and: “One moment, it is mistaken”, and figure smiled: “Yes all is mistaken, everybody with same pretext, it is mistaken, this sign isn’t mine and other”, and Faust: “Yes this sign isn’t mine, because this name is Lucifer and not Faust”, figure took soon contract and: “Lucifer? But I never have signed this contract, and on this contract is written YOUR soul, not mine soul”, and Faust: “Yes, everybody with same pretext, you are very boring, YOUR soul, in fact is your sign LUCIFER”, and figure: “But you have signed this contract with my name, you have signed! And who are boring? Because how much?”, and Faust: “Open that door and enter”, and figure made it, and he looked that millions of daemon were in that room, he turned back and: “How much?”, and Faust: “I don’t know, anyway very much, and you are next, close door when you are entered, it is my last desire, thank you”. The figure made it.
