Blanket

Mulla Nasrudin and his wife woke one night to hear two men fighting under their window. Nasrudin’s wife sent the Mulla out to see what the trouble was. He wrapped his blanket round his shoulders and went downstairs. As soon as he got close to the men, one of them grabbed the blanket off him and both men ran off.

“What was the fighting about, dear?” the Mulla’s wife asked as he came back into the bedroom.

“About my blanket apparently...... as soon as they got it they went away.”
