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
My friend,Hugh,has always been fat,but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet.
He began his diet a week ago.
First of all,he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.
The list included most of the things Hugh loves:butter,potatoes,rice,beer,milk,chocolate,and sweets.
Yesterday I paid him a visit.I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever.
He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk.
It was obvious that he was very embarrassed.
When I asked him what he was doing,he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk.
He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally.
Then he showed me the contents of the parcel.
It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
I have been trying to get my new room in order.
This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.
To make matters worse,the room is rather small,so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.
At the moment,they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room.
A short while ago,my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs.
She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor.
'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said.
She gazed at it for some time then added,
You don't need bookcases at all.You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet
