THE ENVELOPE
After the man had locked the door and closed the windows, he turned on the gas. Then he
lay on his bed to wait for the effects. As he lay on the bed, his hand touched something. It
was an envelope. He began to open it but his eyes closed and very soon he fell asleep.
And he had a dream. He dreamed that he had received an envelope containing a check for
an amount enough to pay all his debts and still be a rich man. After that pleasant dream he
slept peacefully all night.
Next morning the children in the street started making a loud noise, so he woke up. He
evidently had not died yet. He felt his pulse. It was normal. He felt his heart. It was still
beating! Then he saw the envelope. There wasn’t any check inside. Instead he found a letter
