984 - DEVIL

This is my 9-year-old Granddaughter's version:

Otter, who was out diving into the pooL practising tricks, was vEry excited for tomorrow. Why, do you ask? Well because he was taking part in a game of boules and he was to be captain! His blue eyes, with flecks in them lit up as he thought about winning the game. A fleck in his right eye was shining even more than usual. On the day of the game, Otter took the boule in its case to the field. "They will need the devil on their side if they are going to beat me", he thought to himself.

This is my version:

Louis-HEnri Dubois had finished his game of boule and went back to his architect's practice to work on his latest building plan. When he got back to his computer workstation he expressed exasperation with the ongoing building works in the building. His student asked him what was bothering him. "Whenever I return to my keyboard there's a fine layer of dust and the odd fleck or two of paint stuck in the keyboard gaps", he gasped as he blew the keyboard creating a cloud of dust. As Louis-Henri was studying carefully the 3D image of the model from every angle the student remarked "that's looking great; is that finished now?" "No, definitively not. You see, it's the devil in the detail that turns an adequate model that requires lots of enquiries by the builders and experts and one that produces little or no comeback from them", replied Louis-Henri.
