THE BLANKET

John heard a noise at midnight one night. Outside his bedroom window, two men were fighting. John got out of his bed. He covered himself with a blanket and went to the front of his house. "Why are you fighting?" he asked. Without answering, one of the men grabbed the blanket covering John and then they both fled. Poor John crawled back to bed again. "What were they fighting about?" asked his wife. “About our blanket,” John. “Now the blanket is gone, so the struggle is over."
