What is the conflict of the story, "One Ordinary Day, with Peanuts"?what is the climax?

Shirley Jackson's story "One Ordinary Day, with Peanuts" does not follow the typical pattern of most short stories. There is no true conflict in the story, no person vs. person or person vs. nature or the like. You could possibly find person vs. society in this story, but only when you've reflected on the way it ends.

You might add a different kind of conflict to describe this story: appearance vs. reality. On the surface, Mr. Johnson appears to be a kindly man who spends his day doing good for other people. The reality, however, is that his good deeds are just a facade. We learn from the surprise ending that his wife has spent the day being mean to other people and that, surprisingly, they take turns being the good guy and the bad guy.
