Mr. Samson was a newspaper editor in Boston, America. On the night of August 28, 1988, when he was on night duty, he dreamed that a volcano(火山)near the Island of Java(爪哇岛) erupted(爆发) , and that the local people were buried under lava(熔岩).

When he woke up from the bad dream with a start, he thought it was very interesting material, so he wrote it down on a piece paper, left it on the desk and went home. Early in the morning, the editor-in-chief came to work and saw the paper. He took it for the latest news that something important had happened last night and published it immediately . Only after did he find it was merely about what Mr. Samson had seen in his dream. But it was too late because the newspaper had already been delivered.

In no time the editors met to discuss the serious problem. They finally decided to make an apology in the newspaper. Just at that time word came that a volcano on a small between Java and Sumatra (苏门答腊岛)destroyed 163 villages and killed over 40 000 people . It was really a great tragedy（灾难）in human.
