Everyone knows, whether you believe it, that the Devil lives "downstairs". In the event of your death, you will find yourself in this place if you were bad while you lived on earth. Therefore, your goal is to stay clear of the line between good and bad...well, occasionally dance on it a little, but that's it!
But I bet you didn't know he also licks your food when it falls to the ground. He does not honor the three second rule! Oh no, this dude immediately rubs a big and slimy tongue all over your goodies. Being the Devil he is, who knew he has a sense of humor?! Que Cabron! That sucker hopes you pick it up and eat it so he can get a good laugh! I always wondered when he had the time to lick my paleta when he was so busy collecting souls, but my Mom swore the Devil licked anything you dropped! He must have workers or something.
I think this story is told so kids don't eat the food that has hit the ground. However, let's consider the following comic, yet insightful literature of the Adventures of Pepito:
Pepito and his grandmother are walking home from church, Pepito enjoying his paleta (Popsicle) he had so anticipated for during the looooong mass. On his way home, he accidentally drops it. As he was on his way down to pick it up, his grandmother stopped him and says
"No Pepito, the Devil has licked it."
Pepito, though clearly very distraught, obeyed and left his longed for paleta on the ground.
The following Sunday, Pepito accompanied his grandmother to church yet again, and once again on their way home an unfortunate event happens. Pepito's grandmother tripped and fell.
She calls for Pepito, "Help me, pick me up!!"
Pepito, astute from his previous experience, responds "nope, the Devil has licked you!"
And he runs off!
