Text only image that reads, Once upon a time, an old man had passed his prime and was living with his son. His son’s wife was irritated with the old man and his doddering ways, not to mention the added expense, which they could ill afford. So, one winter night, the wife said, “Your father must leave this house tonight.” The husband pleaded, but finally said to his young son, “Go up to the loft and get the horse blanket, that it may warm your grandfather on his journey.” The son did as he was bidden, but returned with only half. “Why,” said the father, “Did you divide the blanket?” The boy replied, “Because I wish to save the other half for you.”

    @wdlindsy @nutmeg William, your reply made me recall this story, “The Divided Blanket,” which I copied when I was 14 from my grandmother’s collection of her favorite poems, quotes, & short stories. (Her version identified its origin as Russian, but I’ve seen more modern versions identified as French). I can’t find it online, so typed it up as an email and took this screenshot…
