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.

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.

德黑兰有个年轻人，再也不想睡地板了。他攒了好多年的钱，终于买了一张真正的床。他生平第一次拥有了带弹簧和床垫的床，心里十分得意。 天气太热，他把床搬上了屋顶。头两晚睡得很好，可第三晚刮起了暴风。 一阵狂风把床卷下屋顶，重重摔进下面的院子。直到床撞上地面，年轻人才醒过来。 床摔得粉碎，他却奇迹般地毫发无伤。醒来时，他仍躺在床垫上。 他看了看四周散落的木头和金属碎片，难过地抱起床垫，搬回屋里。把床垫往地上一铺，他很快又睡着了。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《美梦告终》：多年积蓄换来一张床 → 搬上屋顶睡觉 → 床被风吹落 → 床碎了，人却没事 → 又回到地板上。再借一个结构讲自己的事：先用短句介绍本课一个对象，再用关系从句补上识别它的重要细节。
