--- Lesson 49 The end of a dream |

--- 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] |
