Lesson 49 The end of a dream 美夢告終
Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. 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 courtyard 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.
德黑蘭的一個人年輕人由于對睡地板感到厭倦，于是積蓄多年買了一張真正的床。他平生第一次自豪地擁有了一張既有彈簧又帶床墊的床。由于天氣很熱，他便把床搬到了他的屋頂上。頭兩天晚上，他睡得非常好。但第三天晚上起了風暴。一陣大風把床從屋頂上刮了下來，把它摔碎在下面的院子里。那年輕人直到床撞到地上才醒了過來。盡管床摔成了碎片，但年輕人卻奇跡地沒有受傷。他醒來時，仍然躺在床墊上。年輕人看了一眼周圍的碎木片和碎金屬片，傷心地撿起了床墊，把它拿進了屋。他把床墊往地板上一放，很快又睡著了。

From The young man's View:
Tired of sleeping on the floor, I saved up many years to buy a real bed. I was very pround to be the owner of the bed which had springs and a mattress. It was super comfortable to sleep on it. As the weather was terribly hot, I carried the bed on the roof of my house. I slept well for the first two night, but on the third night, a storm blew up. My bed was swept off the roof by a gust of wind, crashing into courtyard below. I did not woke up until the mattress struck on the ground. When I woke up, I felt upset to notice that my mattress was smashed into pieces. But I still was sleepy. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal, I picked up the mattress and carried it into my house. After putting it on the floor and lying on it, I promptly fell asleep.

From THe young man's mother's View:
Tired of sleeping on the floor, my poor son saved up for years to buy a bed which had springs and a mattress. After trying to sleeping on it, I felt it was more comfortable to sleep on it than to sleep on floor. It was too hot to sleep on the mattress in bedroom, so my son carried it on the roof of his house. He slept 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 courtyard below. Sleeping deeply, my son did not wake until the bed struck on the ground. Although the bed was smashed into pieces, but my son was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal, he picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he went to sleep again.
