Excuse me, does anyone know the original English joke "One for you and one for me" (the story of two children picking chestnuts)? Thank you.

On the outskirts of the city, there is a huge nut tree near the cemetery wall. One day, two boys filled a bucket of nuts, sat by the tree, out of sight, and began to divide nuts.

"One for you and one for me. One for you and one for me, "said a boy. The buckets were so full that some of them rolled to the fence.

The third boy is riding a bike on the road next to the cemetery. When he passed by, he thought he heard a voice from the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you and one for me. One for you and one for me. "

He knows what it is. "God," he said trembling, "Satan and St. Peter split souls in the cemetery."

He rode on the road as fast as he could and found an old man limping along with a cane. "Come here," the boy said. "You won't believe what I heard. Satan and St. Peter divide souls in the cemetery. "

The man said, "shh, you smelly boy, can't you see that it is difficult for me to walk now?" But after several entreaties, the man hobbled towards the cemetery. Standing by the fence, they heard, "one for you and one for me." One for you, one for me ... "

The old man whispered, "Son, you are telling the truth. Let's see if we can see the devil himself. " Trembling with fear, they looked out through the fence, but they still could not see anything. The old man and the boy clung to the bars of the fence more and more tightly, trying to catch a glimpse of Satan.

At last they heard, "One for you and one for me. The last one is for you. That's all. Now let's go to the fence and get those nuts, and we'll be done. "

They said that the old man returned to town five minutes earlier than the boy.

It's a long time ago ~ fortunately, I still have that book! Ha ha!
