Dan safely reached Oldwood. The train was very hot, but there were not many people. Dan tried to sleep on the train, but he could not do it, because he could not stop thinking about the upcoming internship.

Leaving the station, Dan decided to sit on the bench, take a breath. The street was warm enough, 25 degrees Celsius. So he was hot: he wore a jacket, jeans and sneakers. This is because when Dan left Brooklyn, it was a little rain and Dan dressed warmly.

Sitting on a bench, Dan saw a newsagent near the station. He decided to buy a couple of newspapers with ads on renting a house.

Approaching the kiosk, Dan asked:

– Excuse me, can I have a couple of newspapers with ads?

“Of course,” said the woman, who was selling newspapers. – Anything else?

“A pack of Marlboros, please.”

Dan bought the newspaper, went back to the bench, lit a cigarette, and began to look for a place to settle for the internship.

Polistav little newspaper, Dan drew attention to the fact that prices for homes in this city were much lower than that in his homeland, in Brooklyn. That was good news. But still he did not want to spend a lot of money on rent, so he chose the two cheapest options. He circled the phone number in the newspaper, looked at a couple more ads, finished and went to the phone booth.

Dan put the coin in the phone, dialed the number and waited for an answer. For a long time no one raised, when suddenly a man answered.

– Yes?

– Good day, you rent a house? Dan asked.

“Yes,” answered the man, coughing occasionally.

“Can I make an appointment?”

– Of course. Green Street 28. I’ll be waiting for you.

– Thank you. See you!

Dan was delighted that he already has a house. He was impatient to see him as soon as possible. The young man caught a taxi:

“Green Street 28,” he told the taxi driver.

– Go.
