A PLEASANT DREAM Eight forty -five and I was late. I wondered what would be my fate. Breathless I waited, but all in vain. You ' ve hurried son, now that ' s a shame. Sit down and rest, the teacher said. Too much exertion and you ' ll be dead. Then to Latin on I went Wondering what the heck he meant. With fear, I planned to do my best On that awful Latin test. No test today, the teacher said. Laugh or play or home to bed. Forget your work and have some fun. Go out into the pleasant sun. Study hall was scheduled next. Into it I went perplexed. The student ' s were running all around. I joined in all the fun I found. We yelled and laughed and pushed and hit. The teacher came — we feared a fit. Instead, he said, Don ' t let me disturb — Your fun I do not want to curb. Hurry up or you ' ll be late! Breakfast served and we won ' t wait. I sat right up and scratched my head. Could I be still at home in bed And was all this a pleasant dream? It was — rather unreal it did seem.
