Then the Lord say, `William
Tell, you and Adam and Eve can taste everything they is in the
garden 'cepting this one apple tree; you can get all the pears
and bunnanas and peaches and grapes and oranges and plums and
persimmons and scalybarks and fig leaves and 'bout a million
other kinds of fruit if you want to, but don't you tech a single
apple.' And the Devil temp' him and say he going to put his cap
on a pole and everybody got to bow down to it for a idol and if
William Tell don't bow down to it he got to shoot a apple for
good or evil off 'm his little boy's head. That's all the little
boy William Tell and Adam and Eve got, but he ain't going to fall
down and worship no gravy image on top a pole, so he put a
tomahawk in his bosom and he tooken his bow and arrur and shot the
apple plumb th'oo the middle and never swinge a hair of his head.
And Eve nibble off the apple and give Adam the core, and Lina all
time 'sputing 'bout Adam and Eve and William Tell ain't in the
Bible.
