- There was once two boys who were picking nuts. when they were coming home they went into a graveyard counting. When they were going in they lost two nuts going across the fence. Two men were listening to them counting them. They thought it was the devil dividing souls with God. When they had finished they said "what about the two outside the fence?"
The men ran off.
