Explanation:

Answer:
An Uncomfortable Bed
Have you ever been in a situation where you had the feeling that something bad was going to happen? Maybe it was a bad report card that you knew you'd be in trouble for when you got home. Perhaps you had a minor fender bender in your spouse's car and were just waiting for them to discover the dent. Whatever it was, as the old saying goes, you were waiting for the other shoe to drop.
''Waiting for the other shoe to drop'' means you're anticipating something - usually something bad - happening. Much like the narrator of our story, ''An Uncomfortable Bed,'' by Guy de Maupassant, you're prepared for the worst. Our narrator, however, prepares for the worst ... and nothing happens! Nothing except his own suspicions that get the best of him.
