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. He remembered his dream and eagerly opened the envelope. There wasn’t any check inside. Instead he found a letter informing him that as he had not paid his gas bill, the company had cut off his gas!
