Day 289 - Look In Your Own Backyard

A poor man in Baghdad dreams that if he goes to Cairo, he will find treasure buried under a specific bridge. He travels all the way to Cairo, only to be arrested for acting suspiciously. When he tells the guard about his dream, the guard laughs and says, “You fool! I myself dreamt that treasure was buried in the house of a poor man in Baghdad under such-and-such a spot—but only a fool would go on such a journey based on a dream!” The poor man realizes that the guard is describing his own house. He returns home, digs beneath his house, and finds the treasure.
