Who ls Righr?
"I dreamed I had a million dollars and need never work again."
"Splendid," said my friend, "but is that all? What rvas the rest of your dream ?"
"Well," I said, "in my dream I thought of all the things I could now do because I had a million brrcks. I would have the fanciest food money could buy. I would buy a fine l-rouse. Only the sportiest and most expensive automobile would suit rne from now on. Clothing? Only the richest and finest would ever cover me again. Oh, I was in clover all right. My fondest rvishes had come true."
"Then what happened ?" my friend asked.
So I told him my story. It was a dilly-more like it nightmare. "Listen.
"I dressed and, being hungry, went to breakfast. There wasn't any. My wife was in tears. The food she had ordered the day before hadn't been deliverecl. Not even a bottle of milk or the morning newspaper greeted me when I opened the door. I tried to telephone the grocery but the line was dead. I said, 'Oh, well, I'll take a walk and bring back something for breakfast.'
"The street was desertecl. Not a bus, streetcar or cab rvas in sight. I walked on and on. Nothing in sight. Thinking somethir.rg had happened only to my neighborhood, I went to another. Not'even a train was moving. Then people began to appear on the street-first only a few, then many, then hunclreds. I joined them and began asking questior.rs: 'What has happened? \Vhere can I buy food?' Then I got the jolt. Sornebody saicl, 'Don't yott know?

"At first I r,vas stunnecl. I tl-rought that son.rehorv a mistake, a ghastly mistake hacl been made-but there was no mistake. It was really true. Evervbodv l.racl a million dollars and thought thai n,ork was over ior l-rim.

"Then I woke up. My dream \4'as over. The stttr r.vas shining, the birds singing, my wife rattling the breakfast things. I looked out the window and saw a world o{ people moving about their tasks, each contributing a little to my life and living, just as I contribute to theirs. I called to my wife, 'Hurry up with that breakfast. Srveetheart, I want to get to work.'"
