    Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works．

    The bed is connected to an alarm(鬧鐘)clock．First，the alarm clock rings．You have a few minutes to wake up．Next，a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music．The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend．She whispered in a soft voice，”Wake tip，darling，please．”A few minutes later， Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss．His boss shouts，”Wake tip at once，or you’ll be late!” If you don’t get Lip after the second recording，a mechanical(機械的) ”foot” in the bed will kick you on the head．The bed waits a few more minutes．What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher．The foot of the bed goes lower and lower．Finally you slide(滑)off the bed and onto the floor．You are out of bed awake!
