The owner of a large company，who was about to take a trip overseas，dropped into his office early in the morning to make some arrangements．He was telephoning for a ticket for his trip when the night watchman came in，who was back from work，and said“Good morning”to the owner．Then he told him that he had dreamed that very night of the owner’s plane crashing after take-off．The owner was surprised to hear this．He decided，however，there was something in what the night watchman said．He put off  his trip．

As things turned out，the night watchman's dream was correct．That day the plane crashed shortly after leaving the ground．The owner sent for the night watchman and gave him 5,000 dollars and a letter．He said，“I'm very sorry to do so．But I have to do so．Read the letter when you get home．”
