an irish version of the tale has a ne'er-do-well named drunk jack or stingy jack who, when the devil comes to collect his soul, tricks him into turning into a coin, so he can pay for his one last drink. when the devil obliges, jack places him in his pocket next to a crucifix, preventing him from returning to his original form. in exchange for his freedom, the devil grants jack ten more years of life. when the term expires, the devil comes to collect his due. but jack tricks him again by making him climb a tree and then carving a cross underneath, preventing him from climbing down. in exchange for removing the cross, the devil forgives jack's debt. however, no one as bad as jack would ever be allowed into heaven, so jack is forced upon his death to travel to hell and ask for a place there. the devil denies him entrance in revenge but grants him an ember from the fires of hell to light his way through the twilight world to which lost souls are forever condemned. jack places it in a carved turnip to serve as a lantern. another version of the tale is "willy the whisp", related in "irish folktales" by henry glassie. "séadna" by peadar ua laoghaire is yet another version—and also the first modern novel in the irish language.
