Narrator: A young man’s uncle leaves him one thousand dollars in his will. What will the young man do with it?
Scene 1 __________________________________________
In Tolman’s office, Mr Tolman, a lawyer, has just finished reading Gillian’s uncle’s will.
Tolman: Well, there you are. Your uncle wrote his will two months before he died, and now I’ve read it to you. What do you think?
Gillian: (Laughing) It’s not going to be easy to spend a thousand dollars.
Tolman: After spending this cash, you must tell me in writing how you spent it. Will you do that?
Gillian: Yes, I’ll do it.
Tolman: (Giving Gillian a packet) Here’s the money, one thousand dollars.
Narrator: Gillian knows that the uncle’s caretaker, Miss Hayden, got just ten dollars. Compared to that, a thousand is a lot. How should Gillian spend his money? He asks several friends, but doesn’t find the answer. Finally, he decides to return to his uncle’s house.
Scene 2 __________________________________________
In the living room, Miss Hayden is sitting at a table, writing letters. She looks up when Gillian comes in.
Gillian: I’ve just come from Tolman’s. He found a mistake in the will.
Miss Hayden: He did?
Gillian: My dear old uncle left you a thousand dollars, not ten. Tolman asked me to bring it to you. Here it is. (He puts the packet of money on the table.)
Miss Hayden: (Excited) Oh my! Wow!
Gillian: (Smiling) Can I write a note?
Miss Hayden: Of course. (She gives him a pen and some paper, and leaves. Gillian writes a short note, and then reads it.)
Gillian: “Paid to the best and dearest woman in the world, one thousand dollars. I hope she will be happy forever.”
