Building Castles in The Air

           Once there lived a poor young man of a romantic turn of mind, rather given to day dreams. With a very small capital he bought a basket of glassware and opened a shop in the heart of a city. The customers would like the man, and so his articles commanded a good sale.

           One day he was waiting for the customers and was giving a free play to his romantic ideas. Soon he fell into a bliss of deep sleep, leaving the basket of glassware at his feet.

           In course of his sleep he began to dream that his glassware brought him a good profit. With that amount he would start one business after another. He fancied that he would be a. millionaire with a palatial house in the city. The vizier should then give him his daughter in mart His wife would be proud of her high rank and disobey him.

           In course of his dream the young man flew into a great rage to leach his wife a lesson, and fancied to kick her.

           But unfortunately for him, his kick fell on the basket of glassware which broke into pieces. The sound of the crash roused him from his foolish dream. He was shocked to find that his castle in the air had all collapsed. That was the end of all his property and ambition.
