A man was tired of living in his old house in the country and wanted to sell it and buy a better one.He tried to sell it for a long time but was not successful.So at last he decided to solve the problem by using an estate agent.
The agent advertised the house,and a few days later,the owner saw a very attractive photograph of it,with a wonderful description of its gardens,in an expensive magazine.
After the house owner had read the advertisement through,he hastened to telephone the estate agent and said to him,“I’m sorry,MY.Jones,but I’ve decided not to sell my house after all.After reading your advertisement in that magazine,I can see that it’s just the kind of house I’ve wanted to live in all my life.”
