The Nightwatchman
The nightwatchman still faithfully guards the large
house which its own has never lived in.
He loves that empty house and feels
as if he has united with its silence.
One night, he caught a criminal who had tried
to enter the house without his permission.
He couldn’t let the house by disturbed. Why? Well, he
felt he had united with it’s silence.
The next day the nightwatchman was no-
where to be seen. He had been arrested by the
police for beating up the house’s owner.
