Which theme is found in this story? The Lucky Ticket
A man was walking home from work late one evening when he spotted a bright blue piece of paper on the pavement. Looking closer, he realized that it was a lottery ticket. He grabbed it and went home at once. He was skeptical about winning lotteries. Even so, he switched on his TV to watch the announcement of the winning lottery numbers. As the announcer read each number, the man’s heart began to beat faster. Every single number announced was on the ticket he had found. When the announcer called out the last number, the man could not believe his ears. He had won $20 million! He jumped up with joy and began skipping around his house. He thought about all the things he was going to buy with the lottery money. While hopping around with excitement, he hit his leg on a table, tripped, and fell facedown.

He woke up with a start and realized that he was in bed. He fumbled around in his sleep looking for the ticket. It was only then that he realized he’d been dreaming! The lottery ticket wasn’t real. With a groan, he lay back down and cursed his bad luck.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
