　　Some people believe that dreams can tell them what will happen in the future．Nobody knows why, but there are many stories about people who have had dreams that came true．One of these people was a man called John Chapman, who lived in the small town of Swaffham in England．He dreamed that he was standing on London Bridge and a man told him how to become rich．John Chapman was　poor man and he needed money, so the next day he set off for London Bridge．There were plenty of people on the bridge, but they were not interested in him．They all ignored．After three days, he decided to go home, but before he could do this, a shopkeeper approached him．

　　“ I've been watching you,” the shopkeeper said．“ Are you waiting for someone?”

　　“Yes,” said John．“I had a dream about a man on London Bridge．He was going to lead me to a lot of money．”

　　“Oh,” said the shopkeeper．“ You shouldn't believe in dreams．If I believe in dreams, I'd be in Swaffham right now．I had a dream about a few days age about a man from Swaffham．His name was John Chapman and he had gold in his garden near an old apple tree．”

　　John was amazed and immediately headed for home．As soon as he arrived, he dug in his garden near the apple tree．He soon found many pieces of gold．He was so delighted that he gave some of the gold to his local church．He was a rich man for the rest of his life．
