From morning to night there were tourists outside the house . They kept looking into the rooms through the windows and many of them even went into Mr. David’s garden . This was too much for Mr. David . He decided to drive the visitors away . So he put a notice on the window . The notice said “If you want to satify your curiosity (好奇心) , came in and look round . Price : twenty dollars .” Mr. David was sure that the visitors would stop coming , but he was wrong .
