The Unused
as retold by Syahrizal
A wife was arriving home from a shopping trip was horrified to find her husband in bed with a lovely young woman. Just as she was about to
storm out of the house, her husband stopped her with these words:
"Before you leave, I want you to hear how this all came about.
Driving along the highway, I saw this young woman looking tired and
bedraggled, so I brought he home and made her a meal from the roast beef
you had forgotten in refrigerator. She had only some worn sandals on
her feet, so I gave her a pair of good shoes you had discarded because they had gone out of style.
She was cold so I gave her a sweater I bought you for your birthday
that you never wore because the color did not suit you. Her pants were
worn out so I gave her a pair of yours that were perfectly good but too small for you now. Then when she was about to leave the house she paused and asked:
"Is there anything else your wife doesn't use any more?"
