The Quilt is Gone and the Fight is Over

Hodja and his wife were awakened by noises coming from the street. When he looked out of the window he saw two people fighting. He took his quilt, wrapped it around himself and started walking towards the door. Although his wife told him not to get involved, he ignored her.

"Let's see what is going on," he said and went out.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, before he had a chance to find out what was happening, one of the men pulled the quilt off his back and fled. The other one disappeared in the dark.

Hodja looked after them for a few minutes and then went inside, freezing. His wife asked, "What was the fight about?"

"I don't know what it was all about, but I know that the quilt is gone and the fight is over," Hodja replied.
