Three friends wanted to sail around the world in a small yacht. They took food and water with them and set off. They traveled to many beautiful places, and were having a wonderful time. Until one day, when they had been at sea for about a month, a fierce storm blew up. Great waves sank their little yacht.
The three friends were able to struggle to the island, taking with them as much food as they could carry. Not a tree, not a bush, not a flower, grew on the island. There was not an animal of any kind, not even a bird or an insect. For a few weeks the three men were able to live on the food they had saved, but finally it was gone. There was only one piece of bread left. They decided that whoever had the best dream the next night could have the bread.
The next morning they took turns talking about their dreams. The first man said that he had dreamed he was in the world's most wonderful restaurant. He had eaten the finest meal of his life and drunk some of the finest wines. The second man said he had seen a magic carpet in his dream. Sitting on the carpet, he had traveled to all the wonderful places in the world and visited great kings and queens.
Then they turned to the third man.
“Tell us your dream,”they said.“My dream was very simple,”he said. “I dreamed that the bread was going bad and would soon be moldy. I didn't want to waste the bread, so as soon as I woke up I ate it.”
