Possible answers:

Sammy thought he would be happy

because he was rich now.

That night, he had a dream. He saw a

famous thinker from ancient Greece. He

said to Sammy, ‘The way to be happy is

to own as few things as possible. Now you

should know what to do with the money.’

The next day, Sammy gave the money

to the poor and sent Dudley to the

National Museum.
