    Once there was a young minister. He told the people to wait after church and he would show them a bit of hell. There was an old gallery over the altar and the minister had a little boy on the gallery with a bucket of fire. When church was over the minister came out and began saying.
    Fire of hell descend.
    Fire of hell descend.
    The little boy put out his head and said Will I throw bucket and all.
