PECANS IN THE CEMETERY

[TATTOOED_1_ONE]

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.

"One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me,"
said one boy,
Several 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. 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
slowly 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' me
the truth. Let's
see if we can see the Lord."

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 the
Lord.

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 man made it back to town a full 5
minutes ahead of the
kid on the bike.
