    Once a poor woman sat up late on a Saturday night to wash the children's clothes after they had been put to bed. She was working in the kitchen when she heard a footstep coming up the street. There was a knock on the door and a voice said "Open the door". She wnet down and opened the door & who came in but a woman and a horn in the middle of her forehead.
