One day two boys >filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, >and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you, >one for me," said one boy. The bucket was so full, several rolled out >towards the fence. Cycling down the road by the cemetery was a third >boy. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the >cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One >for you, one for me. One for you." He knew what it was. "Oh my god!" >he shuddered, "It's Satan and St. Peter dividing the souls at the >cemetery!" He cycled down the road and found an old man with a cane, >hobbling along. "Come quick!" he said, "You won't believe what I >heard. Satan and St. Peter are down at the cemetery dividing the >souls." The man said, "Shoo, you brat! Can't you see I'm finding it >hard to walk as it is!" After several pleas, the man hobbled to the >cemetery and heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one..." The >old man whispered, "Boy, you's been tellin' the truth! Let's see if we >can see the Devil himself." Shivering with fear, they edged toward the >fence, still unable to see anything, but they heard, "One for you, one >for me. One for you, one for me. And one last one for you. That's all. >Let's go get those nuts by the fence, and we'll be done." >They say the old guy made it to town 10 minutes before the boy! >Author unknown
