Every morning a rich man found a poor man sitting on a bench (长凳) in a park. The poor man always sat there, looking at a big hotel. The rich man owned (拥有) the hotel. One day the rich man went out of his car and said to the poor man, "Excuse me, but I just want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning." "Sir," said the poor man, "I have no money, no family and no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I'll sleep in that hotel." The rich man said, "Tonight your dream will come true. You can live in the hotel for free."
A few days later, the rich man went to see the poor man. To his surprise, he found that the poor man had moved out of the hotel, back to his bench. The poor man said, "You see, when I was down here sleeping on my bench, I dreamt I was up there, in that big hotel. But when I was up there, I dreamt that I was back to this cold bench. It was a terrible (可怕的) dream, and I couldn't fall asleep at all."
