A young man traveled by train. As it was running across a wild land, the passengers looked out of windows without aims.

When the train came near a turning, it slowed down and then a simple house came into view. It was the only house the passengers saw on such a long journey. Everybody on the train admired it with eyes wide open. Some passengers even began a discussion about it.

The young man was also impressed by the scene. On his return, he got off the train at the nearest station from the house and found his way there. Its owner told him he was troubled by the noise of the train and that he wanted to sell the house but nobody would buy it.

Soon the young man paid 30,000 dollars for the house, thinking it a wonderful place for advertisement. It faced the railway turning, where the train had to slow down and the bored passengers would cast their eyes at the house to refresh their minds.

The young man tried to contact big companies and make them realize the place was the perfect for advertisement. Finally the Coca-Cola Company put up an advertisement on the house. The young man got 180,000 dollars for three year’s rent.
