------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
On the outskirts of town, there was a big old pecan tree by the cemetery
fence. 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.
Several were dropped and rolled down toward the fence.
Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he
thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery, and he slowed down to
investigate. Sure enough, he heard "One for you, one for me. One for
you, one for me."
He just knew what it was. "Oh, my," he shuddered, "it's Satan and the
Lord dividing souls at the cemetery."
He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met
an old man with a cane, hobbling along.
"Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard. Satan
and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls."
The man said, "Beat it, kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk?"
When the boy insisted, though, the man hobbled to the cemetery.
Standing by the fence, they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for
you, one for me."
The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth. Let's see if
we can see the devil himself."
Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable
to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars
of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of
Satan.
At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. And one last one for you.
That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence, and we'll be
done."
