The Devil and Daniel Webster
"The Devil and Daniel Webster" is a short story by Steven Vincent Benét.
Trivia
- This story was parodied in the first segment of The Simpsons' special Halloween episode, Treehouse of Horror IV, entitled "The Devil and Homer Simpson". In their version, the Devil is played by Ned Flanders, and Homer sells his soul not for better luck, but for one doughnut. Lacking an oratorical heavyweight like Daniel Webster, it is up to incompetent attorney Lionel Hutz to win Homer's freedom from Hell.
- In The Rolling Stones song Sympathy for the Devil, the Devil recounts how he was present at many injustices, which is very similar to a passage in this story.
