When Opportunity Knocked

By Mario V. Farina

I had had a dream and needed to have it explained. Madam Ursula Marie told me there was a fortune waiting for me if only I spoke the correct words at the appropriate time. I knew Madame Ursula to be sincere; she had a marvelous reputation. But I didn't win the fortune. Let me tell you the story. Please tell me what I did wrong or omitted doing.
