   `secred' means secret and sacred (joking). As to your amendment of   
   `presents' to `presented', I disagree. I also disagree about you:   
   proposal to use the definite article with `devil' and to add a   
   comma before `that', e.g.:   
      
   When I went out yesterday to dispose of garbage, I encountered a   
   cat that had no tail.
