ONE FOR YOU AND ONE FOR ME
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. 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 the 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.
That's
all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence, and we'll be done."
They
say the old guy made it back to town 5 minutes before the boy.
