Once we kids were playing soccer outside.\u00c2\u00a0 We gradually drifted into the graveyard, where there was an open grave that had just been dug.\u00c2\u00a0 We continued to play ball, until suddenly the ball rolled right into that empty grave!<\/p>\n
We weren’t ready to give up a ball, and we had never been down inside a grave before… Pretty soon, we decided that one of us should be lowered into the grave, get the ball, and throw it out.\u00c2\u00a0 When we finally selected the honored one, we grabbed hands, and in a moment they were six feet under.<\/p>\n
