There is a teacher. His name is Thomas. He likes to take a short nap every afternoon. His students ask him why he sleeps every afternoon. He says that he goes to dreamland(梦境) to meet ancient sages(先贤). But it is just because he is too tired.

       On a very hot day, they are having a class. Some of his students feel it so boring that they fall in sleep. When Thomas scolds(责骂) them, they say, “We go to meet the ancient sages in dreamland.”

      “What do they say?” asks the teacher Thomas. Students say, “We ask them if a teacher comes here every afternoon,   ▲   they say that they see no one.”
