A man and a woman who had never met before,
**But who were both married to other people,
found themselves assigned to the same sleeping
room on the Indian Pacific train. **
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over
sharing a room, they were both very tired and
fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth
and she in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke
the woman saying, "Excuse me, I’m sorry to bother you,
**but would you be willing to reach into the closet **
to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold."
"I **have a better idea," she replied “Just for tonight, **
**let’s pretend that we’re married.”
“Wow! That’s a nice idea!”, he exclaimed.**
“'Good”, she replied "Get your own fing* blanket**."**
The End
