Have you heard anyobe telling you stories about the magicians of ancinet time? They were supposed to be men who increase their power far beyond the limits of ordinary human being. It was said that they did this by eating magic plants or talking secret pills. Of course, no inteligent tales about their wonderful power. Many of the tales were humorous…..
There were many about sleep,for example. One magician noticed that sleep strengthened the body and mind. He decided to learn to sleep. He holds the world record with a sleep of 800 years!
when people found him sleeping, they usually careful npt to disturb him. He was not always left undisturbed for so long, however. He lived on a mountain and one day he has been going down the mountain. Several months past but he did not return. Other magicians who had noticed him going down, but not had seen him returning, thouht that he had left the distirict.
Winter cameand as the weather became colder, the heaps of firewood that had been preapared began to grow small. One men was reaching the end of hia heap.He took hold of a longthin long and began pulling and found himself grapping of human leg! 
at first he was horified. He began puling the remaining logs from the top and then start to roar with laughter.it was sleeping magicians who sat up and began rubbing his eyes and stretching himself. 
I remember hearing another story. A farmer was cutting grass on the lower glope of the mountain. He come to a break in the ground where the dried up bed of a stream ran down. They saw he saw and corpse lying in the ground. 
Poor man thought the farmer. He bent down to take a closer look he noticed fraps a weeds growing in the soil which nad been blow on to the body and he saw a bird building its nest between the feet. The farmer was very sad. He decided that he would bring a car to take the corpse away and gave its proper burial but just then the corpse woke up and began rubbing his eyes.. 
I was enjoying a most pleasant sleep the magician said. Who keep on disturbing me. The farmer saw that it was the magician and apologized for spoiling his rest. Then he went on cutting the grass while the magician stolled slowly off to breakfast..
_THE END_
