  2. The Blanket

    Share Share Post
    An old woman one time had a grand blanket and she was so fond of it that she carried it round with her all day.
    When she was dying she asked her son to put her blanket in her coffin. He said he would do as. She died but he did not put the blanket in her coffin as he thought it would be wasting.
    One night after this as he was coming home from town he saw the woman with her blanket around her sitting up on a bush. He went home to get his blanket. He searched the house but could not get it.
