    Funny Story
    There was once two boys who made up their mind to go for nuts for nut night. So off they went and when they were coming home it was dark and they had to pass through a graveyard and said they would divide the nuts in it. When they were getting in over the wall they dropped two nuts and they did not want to pick them up because they heard footsteps. Two men who were going home they heard them talking saying one for me, one for you and they said it was God and the devil dividing them so and when they had finished they said what about the two outside the wall. When the mend this they took to their heels.
