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 a small place, named Swaffham in England and was deeply loved by people in this town. Though he was very poor, he was kind and likely to help others in trouble. One night, he dreamed that he was standing on London Bridge and a man told him how to become rich. John Chapman really needed money and wanted to have a try, so the next day he set off for London. He walked for three days and three nights and at last arrived at London Bridge. There were plenty of people on the bridge, but they were not interested in him. They were all unaware of him. Three days later, he decided to go home, but before he could do this a shopkeeper was approaching 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 own a lot of money.”
“Oh,” said the shopkeeper. “You shouldn’t believe in dreams. If I believed in dreams, I’d be in Swaffham right now. I had a dream a few days ago about a man from Swaffham. His name was John Chapman and he had gold in his garden near an old apple tree.”
