A young man is on a train. When the train gets to a bend*, it slows down*. Near the railway, there is big a house. It looks different from the buildings in the city. Everybody on the train looks at it. Some tourists begin to talk about it.
The young man likes the house very much. He gets off at the next station and walks to the house. The house is on sale. The owner* of the house says, “Nobody wants to buy it, because of the noise* of the trains. The noise makes it difficult to live in.” The young man wants to buy the house and pays $30,000 for it.
