[00:01.080] --- Lesson 49 The end of a dream
[00:06.600] --- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:12.560] --- How did the dream end?
[00:17.080] Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed.
[00:27.680] For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress.
[00:38.080] Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.
[00:45.680] He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up.
[00:54.160] A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.
[01:03.640] The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.
[01:10.320] Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt.
[01:17.160] When he woke up, he was still on the mattress.
[01:22.200] Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him,
[01:26.880] the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house.
[01:33.320] After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.
[01:39.840] --- end
