One day, a young man was travelling by train. It was a long and boring journey. Before the train arrived at a bend (弯道), it slowed down and the passengers (乘客) on the train turned to “enjoy” a farmhouse with open eyes. The house also caught the young man's eye. On his journey back, he found his way to the house. The farmer, the owner of the farmhouse, said that the great noise of the passing trains had made the family very uncomfortable. He wanted to sell the house but nobody would buy it.
At last, the young man spent only 30,000 dollars buying the house. He thought it was a good place for advertisements. When a train moves slowly past the bend, the passengers would have enough time to look at the farmhouse and the advertisements on its wall. He shared his idea with some big companies. Finally, one of them agreed to put up some advertisements there. He made 180,000 dollars for three years of their advertisements on the wall of his house.
