A Dream, a Senseless Dream, and a Dream of a Man of Means

Bonsieur and Coby have been friends for half a century. Bonsieur dreams of being rich, but when he wakes his purse is empty. Cobby asks why they can't share their wealth with others who are more fortunate. "I rejoice with thee in thy good fortune," replies Bonsieer; 'but I would not share it with thee' The two men agree to lend each other two shekels until after the nobleman's feast this night.
