Smooth English

A child began to rouse the temple. There was a demon that moved the arm of the idol. A cloud of smoke spilled from the arm. The demon appeared and sat on a white slab. The child gave it a drink, and its face became red. But because of its pride, it forgot the powers of all the people. They made it depart because of its lies, and while it was disappearing, only the child looked at it.
