NUTS!

Two Boy Scouts went on a nature hike in the hills picking hickory nuts along the way, They soon filled their small pails and started to fill their pockets and shirts. When they could hold no more nuts they started down the country road until they came across a cemetery. One of the boys decided that would be a good place to stop and rest and divide out the nuts.

The two boys sat in the shade of a large oak tree and unloaded their pockets and buckets dumping all of the nuts in a large pile. In the process two of them rolled away and rested near the road. The boys then proceeded to divide out the nuts. "One for you. One for me. One for you. One for me"

As they were doing this a passerby happened to hear them. He looked into the cemetery but could not see the boys as they were obscured by the tree. He hesitated a moment and then ran back to town.

"Dad, Dad," he yelled as he entered his house. "The cemetery. Come quick!!!"

"Whats the matter?" his father asked?

"No time to explain." the boy frantically panted. "Follow me!!!"

The boy and his father ran up the country road and stopped when they reached the cemetery. They stopped at the side of the road, and all fell silent for a few moments. Then the father asked his son what was wrong.

"Do you hear that?" he whispered. Both listened intently and heard the Scouts. "One for me. One for you. One for me One for you."

The boy then blurted out, "The devil and the Lord are dividing the souls!!"

The father was skeptical but silent. Until a few moments later as the Scouts completed dividing out the nuts and one Scout said to the other...

"Now as soon as we get those two nuts down by the road we'll have them all."
