Lesson49 The end of a dream
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.
Agust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashingin to 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.

练习感悟:今天由于参加厦门海沧半马比赛,昨晚就回去了,白天一直没空学习课文。晚间来了后抓紧时间练习。喉咙疼,加上一阵打嗝,真是小状况不断。不过还是坚持了下来,调整好后,最终录制完成。以后还是尽量把学习时间放在早上,尽量早点学院,不用这么赶。
