- My grandfather and an other chap had a bag full of chestnuts and they went into a graveyard + began to divide the nuts
When they were going in they lost two of them.
As they were counting them a man and a woman were passing by + when they heard them. They thought it was the Devil and God dividing the good and bad between them, + when the heard them saying they should go out + bring the two outside in. They thought it was for them and them ran as fast as they could. But they could not run very fast for they were old and feeble.
