Be-cause the weather was very hot, hecarried the bed on to the roof of hishouse. He slept very well for the first twonights, but on the third night, a stormblew up. A gust of wind swept the bedoff the roof and sent it crashing into thecourtyard below. The young man did notwake up until the bed had struck theground. Although the bed was smashedto pieces, the man was miraculously un-hurt. When he woke up, he was still onthe mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, theman sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had putit on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.
