Rhys

At the start of Peter & The Wolf, Rhys Muldoon was describing a dream he had lost and asked the kids in the audience (2377 seats) what they had dreamt about.
Rhys: What was in your dream?
Kid: A duck
Rhys: Really?
Kid: And a wolf
Rhys: Was the duck wearing a hat?
Kid: Yes
Rhys: I must have been in your dream
Me (sotto voce): You're often in my dreams, Rhys...
