`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.
