Two boys went to the cemetary and gathered nuts by the fence that surrounded it. After a while, their basket was filled to the brim, so they decided to go up in a tree nearby and divide them between themselves. As they climbed up it, a few of the nuts fell out of the basket and rolled onto the ground below. “We’ll pick those up later,” one of them said.
A little while later, a third boy was was walking by when he heard two voices coming from the tree: "One for you, and one for me. One for you, and one for me." He couldn't see who was saying it.
"Oh my gosh!" he thought. "It's Satan and Saint Peter dividing up the souls!"
The boy ran back to town as fast as he could to find someone to tell about this. He grabbed the first person he saw, who was an old man. “Come with me!” he said. “Satan and Saint Peter are dividing up the souls down at the cemetary!” The old man figured he’d go along just because he had nothing better to do.
