The bottle imp
Keawe is a Hawaiian who feels the need to know other lands, so he goes to San Francisco (United States). There he discovers a beautiful house whose owner seems somewhat sad and emaciated. When talking to him and asking him the reason for his sadness, the old man shows him a bottle of white glass in whose interior are all the colors of the rainbow. Amazed by his beauty, the old man tells him that in that bottle inhabits a demon capable of granting any desire, except one: to extend life to a person. For that, the owner of the bottle must meet a number of requirements: sell the bottle to another person before dying or go to hell, you can only sell the bottle if the price is lower than the owner paid.
