If you go to sleep on your back，you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to displease people，so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t sure of yourself.

If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hopes too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

　　William Stone, a spokesman of one of the biggest import & export companies in Yorkshire, Britain, was making an angry speech at a business conference in Berlin for seeking a complete solution to the problem of so called “Mad Cow Disease”, which had been spreading quickly throughout the country and was regarded as a direct cause of the death of a 12-year-old schoolgirl who was said to have eaten some well-done beef and died two weeks later. The death caused great fear among beef-eaters all over the world.

　　“We don't believe it since until now I haven't received even a smallest piece of paper reporting the real cause of the death, ” said Mr. Stone excitedly facing the thirty representatives from at least twenty countries that had been the biggest import countries of the British beef but now refused to have it. When he saw no signs of anybody being willing to speak out, Mr. Stone got madder, adding, “You will have to eat beef every day, won't you? In the past, to get our beef, you ordered months in advance, as much as you could, saying in your thank-you letters; ‘…Without the British beef we can't imagine what a colorless sight would be on our countrymen's dinner tables. ’”

　　“But now, gentlemen, you say ‘Mad Cow Disease …Death frightening …sorry to stop enjoying your beef for the moment! ’” Mr. Stone let out a shout and then seized a handful of paper out from a paper bag lying beside the microphone, “Here, here …what you are thinking about is all here. Have a look at your telegram, gentlemen!”

　　His audience looked at each other, still expressionless. “Well, let our beef rot away,” Mr. Stone continued. “And let your men go hungry ---- they'll be mad one day. Thank you!” He took his handkerchief out of his pocket, wiping off sweat while walking down back to his seat. All of the listeners stayed silent for seconds, then laughter burst out.

　　They, including Mr. Stone himself, laughed so much that the chairman of the conference announced a rest of ten minutes.
