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.　　New words and expressions 生词和短语　　tired adj. 厌烦的　　real adj. 真正的　　owner n. 仆人　　spring n. 弹簧　　mattress n. 床垫　　gust n. 一阵风　　sweep v. 扫，刮　　courtyard n. 院子　　smash v. 碰碎，摔碎　　miraculously adv. 奇迹般地　　unhurt adj. 没有受伤的　　glance v. 扫视　　promptly adv. 急速地　　参考译文　　德黑兰的一个人年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦，于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床。
