20160504:The end of a dream 美梦告终
Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real
bed. Forthe first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs
and amattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his
house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up.
A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the court yard below.The
young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was
smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the
mattress.Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked
up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly
went to sleep again.
