I would appreciate if someone helps me with this.

This is the Summary:

The story begins in Boston, Massachusetts, In a swampy area, the narrator explains that the Pirate “ Captain Kidd “ buried a treasure in that area, and explains the devil himself guarded that area, he also said Kidd never returned to get his treasure and he was sent to England from Boston and he was hanged as a pirate.
Tom Walker lives in New England, and he is a miserly person who lives with his wife, who is as miserable as him, they both hate each other and always hide money from one another, they also live in a horrible house, their trees are in a bad shape, and their horses are unfed and skinny.
One day Tom Walker was walking through the swamp near his home, Tom stopped to rest in a fallen down fort, it was said that the Indians built it to hold off the colonists. Tom was sitting there when he found a skull with an Indian tomahawk hanging out of it. When he was cleaning the dirt out of it, he heard a voice of a man telling him to leave the skull alone. He was a man covered in black mud, with big red eyes, and he was wearing a sort of Indian clothes but he was not an Indian. He asked Tom what was he doing in his land, and he replied that this land was not of him, or anyone else. He then shows Tom that each tree has a name of someone in it, like Crowninshield who was a very rich man who became wealthy questionable trading activities. And the black man said Crowninshield was ready for the burning.
Tom then asked who he was and he said that some people call him the black miner or sometimes the black woodsman; he said that he was the master of the Salem witches. Then tom replies that he must be “Old scratch “another name for the devil. And the black man said he really was Old Scratch, the narrator says that most of the people when they meet such character in a wild place, they would be frightened, but Tom wasn’t, Since tom have lived with his nasty wife for a long time he did not even fear the devil.
They spent talking a long time together, and the black man told tom about the buried treasure from pirate Kidd, and that the money was under his command, and that nobody could find it unless he wanted to, so he offered Tom to find it, but he was asking for something in exchange of it, something like his soul, Tom then asked some time to think about this offer.
When he got home, he told his wife about what happened, and his wife asked to go back and accept the offer, but Tom said no, since he wasn’t willing to give his soul for it, so his wife made the deal herself and went to look for the black man.
The next day she returned in a bad mood because the man wasn’t accepting her offers, so the next day she went again, with a lot of their valuable objects, but the days passed and she wasn’t back. So he went back to the Indian fort, and all he found was the apron she was taking, a heart, and a liver, he wasn’t upset at all, in fact he said the devil made him a favor for taking his wife, and he wanted to be friend of the devil.
He couldn’t find him for a long time, but when he did, he discussed about the offer the devil made, but he never talked about giving his soul, because he was not going to give it, so the devil mentioned something about him becoming a slave, and using the money he earned for the devil’s benefits, so he objected and asked for another offer, then the devil said he must become a money lender, and he would give money at 2% interests, but Tom volunteered to give 4% and the devil also said Tom should lead the merchants to bankruptcy, then Tom volunteered to drive all this debtors to the devil as well, then Tom was set in Boston.
Tom became a wealthy and powerful man, but as Tom aged he became concerned about his deal with the devil and he tries to find a way to get out of it, so he became holy, and always had a bible in his hand.
One day Tom was in his house with some costumers, when somebody knocked the door, when he opened the Black man was standing outside, with a black horse stomping the floor, and he took Tom, the black man put him in the horse and they went riding, and the horse throwing fire each time he stomped the floor then the black man disappeared. Tom never returned and it is said that they can hear a horse growling and running around, and all of his money turned into ashes, and his house burned to the ground. They never saw him again, and you can find the name of Tom Walker in one of the swamp’s trees. This was the end of Tom Walker and all the wealth he accumulated by cheating and abusing others.
