Yeah there's some hilariously simple and dark folktale I saw in one of those Scary Stories collections where this Satan figure promises these kids to grant their wishes if they murder their mother And the ending is just "LOL I don't have magical powers and I can't grant wishes"https://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1311652057145896960 …

Yeah, I think its that one, and its a pretty amusing twist. The kid offering to give them the drum just being like "what? I was just screwing with you, I didn't think you were taking any of this seriously!"

Alvin Schwartz noted how the girl is in a way actually more evil than the devil, since even in folklore the devil doesn’t just renege on promises entirely Also, the way it resolves is, at least to me, even more upsetting than in the children had killed their mother outright
