On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside 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 up between them. One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me, said one boy. Several nuts dropped and rolled down toward the fence. Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he heard the boys voices from inside the cemetery. Oh my, he shuddered, Its Satan and the Lord dividing the souls at the cemetery. Then he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. Come here quickly, said the boy, Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls. The old man hobbled to the cemetery. The old man whispered, Lets see if we can see the Lord himself. Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were unable to see anything. They heard, One for you, one for me. Thats all. Now lets go get those nuts by the fence, and well be done. They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead of the boy on the bike!
