Just think of it, and I had missed it, with a voice like mine.
If I had known what I know now, I would have come out to that land and sung to it all night.
I never knew in the days when I was content with fifteen dollars a week.
What a hidden gift my voice was.
I should have taken up land singing and made a fortune out of it.
The thought of it saddened me all the way home, and the talk of the real estate man, as he went, made me feel still worse.
He showed me a church that I could have bought for a hundred thousand and sold now at half a million for a motor garage.
If I had started buying churches instead of working on a newspaper, I'd have been rich today.
There was a skating rink I could have bought, and a theater and a fruit store, a beautiful little one story wooden fruit store, right on a corner, with the darlingest Italian in it that you ever saw.
There was the cutest little pet of a cow stable that I could have turned into an apartment store at a profit of a million.
at the time when I was studying Greek and forgetting it.
Oh the wasted opportunities of life.
And that evening when I got back to the club and talked about it at dinner to my business friends, I found that I had only heard a small part of it.
Real estate that's nothing.
Why they told me that fifteen years ago I could have had all sorts of things.
Trunk line railways, sugar refineries, silver mines.
Any of them for a song.
When I heard it
I was half glad I hadn't sung for the land.
They told me that there was a time when I could have bought out the Federal Steel Company for twenty million dollars.
