Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Life Is a Dream (La vida es sueño) · 1635
An gaya wa wani basarake cewa mafi kyawun ranarsa mafarki ne. Sai ya yanke shawarar ya yi aiki nagari a kowane hali, ko da zai farka.
A wasan Calderón, sarkin Poland, Basilio, masanin taurari ne. Taurari sun gaya masa cewa ɗansa Segismundo zai zama azzalumi, don haka ya renon yaron a ɗaure da sarƙa a cikin wani hasumiya a tsaunuka. Bayan shekaru ya gwada annabcin. Ana shayar da Segismundo magani, a kai shi fada, sai ya farka a matsayin basarake. Yana da tsananin zafi. Yana jefa wani bawa daga baranda yana kuma yi wa mahaifinsa barazana. Sai su sake shayar da shi magani su mayar da shi hasumiyar, mai gadinsa kuma ya ce masa duka mafarki ne.
Jawabin Segismundo a ƙarshen kashi na biyu na wasan yana cikin waɗanda aka fi ambata a harshen Spanish: “Menene rayuwa? Hauka. Menene rayuwa? Ruɗi, inuwa, ƙagaggen labari, kuma mafi girman alheri ƙarami ne; domin dukan rayuwa mafarki ce, kuma mafarkai mafarkai ne kawai.” Ya daina iya bambanta fada da hasumiyar. Duka biyun sun ji kamar gaske ne gaba ɗaya yayin da yake cikinsu.
Kashi na uku shi ne inda wasan ya koma falsafa. Sojoji sun ’yantar da shi suka ba shi sarauta. Segismundo bai da tabbacin cewa ba mafarki yake yi ba kuma, sai ya yanke shawarar hakan ba ya damun. Zai yi aiki nagari a kowane hali. Idan gaske ne, daidai ne don kansa. Idan mafarki ne, to yin alheri, kamar yadda mai gadinsa ya gaya masa, ba ya ɓata ko a mafarki. Ya yafe wa mahaifinsa ya kuma ci masarautar.

Kyakkyawan aiki a cikin kwaikwayo kyakkyawan aiki ne; kuma idan akwai farkawa, kana tafiya da halinka. Wasan yana da wata magana ta biyu kuma. Annabcin Basilio ya cika ne kawai saboda ya kulle ɗansa saboda tsoronsa.
