"The Black Sheep"

“There was a country where they were all thieves. At night everybody would leave home with skeleton keys and shaded lanterns and go and burgle a neighbour's house. They'd get back at dawn, loaded, to find their own house had been robbed.”
This is a short story by Italo Calvino. I have always adored him for his sense of humor and intelligence. His clever, witty, intelligent, short points affect you just the same way he wants. I suggest you to read this short story. If you are lazy just like me don’t worry, It won’t take your time more than 10 minutes even if you want to make it longer;)
