    When he was out of his bed a little while the black thief came into the room and said to the woman "It is very cold give me the sheet". The woman gave the black the thief the sheet and the black thief went out again. The woman though that it was to her husband she was giving the sheet
    After a while the man came in and the woman said to him that it was a long time since he asked for the sheet and took it with him. The man admitted that the black thief got the sheet without his seeing him.
