Dunstan was a little surprised at this strange visit, but agreed to take up the job, provided that Satan will allow himself to be tied to the wall. He explained to the uninvited guest that these precautions are necessary, because the procedure is very painful and the blacksmith is afraid, as though in the process Satan hit him with a hoof.


A half-year of unclean agreement, Dunstan set to work, and soon a new horseshoe horsewoman. She was perfectly approaching the hoof, and the blacksmith had only to adjust it. Praying that everything went well, the smith began to hammer the first nail into the hoof. And then Satan howled from the infernal pain, because any case, blessed with prayer, was painful for him. Experiencing terrible torments, unknown to people, Satan begged Dunstan to let him go, leaving the matter unfinished. However, the blacksmith, fearing that his fame would go bad, disobeyed him and began to knock on the nail with a new force, in order to complete the beginning of the whole thing.

The devil was so moved that the walls trembled, and he began to ask the blacksmith more than ever to let him go free, promising to fulfill any desire. Dunstan thought and took from Satan's promise that he would never go into a house on the doors of which he would hang a pododkov.
