solomon grundy was the ugliest man in the world, and he dreamed every night of being the most beautiful woman in the world.
one night, before retiring for the night, he discovered he was out of chamomile tea. he made himself a cup of earl grey tea instead.
that night he had a slightly different dream. he entered a tea shop and found himself face to face with three of the most beautiful women in the world - deililah, salome, and cleopatra.
good heavens! delilah exclaimed. we thought we were three gorgeous creatures, but this newcomer puts us quite in the shade.
indeed! chimed in salome.
won’t you join us, sister, clepoatra added, so that we may continue to be astounded by your ethereal beauty.
this was solomon’s happiest dream, but it was also his last.
in the morning, his faithful housekeeper, mrs worthy, who had served him for forty some years, found him dead in his bed, with a curious grimace on his face.
