*Joke*

One morning Emma woke with a start.

She tells her husband that she just had a

dream that he bought her a pearl necklace

for Valentine’s day. What do you think it

means? (Continued on last square.)

(Start two squares to the left.)

Her husband replies, “you’ll know tonight!”

That evening she excitedly opens a small

package that is the gift she is waiting for.

Unfortunately, it is a book entitled,

“The meaning of dreams!”
