SUMMARY OF CHAPTER "A BAD DREAM"
Annie, the cook at Mr. Hill’s house, had worked for the family for twenty years. She considered the home to be her own. It would be difficult for her to find a new job at her age. But Mr. Hill was inconsiderate and insensitive as he wanted her to go because she was a bad cook. His dream taught him a lesson. He dreamt that the staff of the bank had visited him and told him to resign as he did not work efficiently and he was not nice to the staff members. Mr. Hill was very upset and tried to reason them but failed. When he woke up, he realized that he had put Annie in the similar situation. He was regretful and his bad dream changed him into a good human being.
