The unexpected visitor, though drunk and seeking an unusual favor, becomes a catalyst for reflection—a reminder that compassion often transcends personal discomfort.
Imagine someone knocking on your door in the dark of night. Would you consider trying to find out who that person might be, or would you be too scared to do so?
Well, the couple was already fully asleep when they heard a loud knock on the door at three in the morning. Confused but eager to see who was at the door, the woman nudged her husband out of bed to investigate.
Check out the full story below.
A rat-a-tat-tat on the door when a man and his wife are in bed.
Turning to his watch, he sees that it is half past four in the morning.
He thinks, “I’m not getting out of bed right now,” and turns.
Then there is another, louder knock.
His wife asks, “Aren’t you going to answer that?” He gets out of bed and descends the stairs.
A man stands at the door as he opens it.
The homeowner quickly discovered that the man was drunk.
“Hello,” the outsider smirked. “Can you push me??”
“No, go find somewhere else. Half past four, I say. “I was in bed,” the man declared, closing the door.
“No, go find somewhere else. Half past four, I say. “I was in bed,” the man declared, closing the door.
When he returns to bed and tells his wife what happened, she remarks, “Dave, you weren’t very kind.” Remember the night you had to knock on the man’s house to restart us when we broke down while driving to pick up the kids from the babysitter in the pouring rain? How would it go if he told us to go?”
The husband replies, “But the guy was drunk.”
“That’s irrelevant,” says the husband.
“He needs our help and it would be right to help him.
“He needs our help and it would be right to help him.
So the husband gets out of bed once more, gets dressed and goes downstairs. He opens the door and shouts, “Hey, you wanna push some more?”, because he doesn’t see the stranger anywhere.
A voice then shouts, “Yes, please.”
When he can no longer see the stranger, he shouts, “Where are you?”
In response, the stranger says, “I’m here, on your swing.”
The story unfolds with a humorous twist, playing on the expectation of a nighttime disturbance and the pair’s different reactions to the situation. It is a light-hearted scenario where the husband initially refuses to assist a drunken stranger seeking help at an odd hour, citing his own convenience and the late hour. However, his wife, drawing on their past experience of needing help, encourages him to reconsider and emphasizes the importance of helping someone in need.
Finally, after the husband reluctantly agrees to assist, there is a comedic revelation – the stranger is actually sitting on their swing, unseen from the doorway. This unexpected punchline adds a playful edge to the story, emphasizing the folly of assumptions and the unpredictability of nighttime encounters.
The ending of the fairy tale leaves room for laughter and reflection on how our perceptions and reactions can lead to unexpected results. It’s a reminder to approach situations with empathy, even if they seem uncomfortable or unusual at first.
