Where Can I go? I wondered, and walked down the street. I stopped in front of the lottery ticket vendor.
“Please buy me. I sell the happiness.”
The numbers were trembling. The numbers were dancing--- Temptation!
I chose 6 numbers with intensity: 9,16, 23, 27, 41, 44 They looked like a treasure island.
That night I had a dream. The shining sun and the full moon were hanging in the clear sky.
Next day I checked for the winning number. Not one of mine was right.
I went out to the lake to hide my embarrassment. I had expected to win.
The sun and the moon which I saw in the dream hanging together in the dark sky---
I could not see them.
