- One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a
- horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his
- brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.

-
- The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs,
- pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. "What's
- happened to me? " he thought. It wasn't a dream.

- His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar
- walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table - Samsa was a travelling salesman -
- and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in
- a nice, gilded frame.

- It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that
- covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the
- dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad.

- "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was
- something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state
- couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to
- where he was.

- He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering
- legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. "Oh,

- Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own
- business at home, and on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train
- connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never
- get to know anyone or become friendly with them.

- that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with lots of
- little white spots which he didn't know what to make of; and when he tried to feel the place with one of
- his legs he drew it quickly back because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold shudder. He
- slid back into his former position.

- "Getting up early all the time", he thought, "it makes you stupid. You've got to get enough sleep. Other
- travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, whenever I go back to the guest house during
- the morning to copy out the contract, these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their
- breakfasts. I ought to just try that with my boss; I'd get kicked out on the spot. But who knows, maybe
- that would be the best thing for me...
