Yu Qiuyu is a famous writer. Once, he went to Germany to learn more about the life there. He found a room for renting(出租). The owner was an old man. Yu looked around the room and found it very nice, so he decided to rent it.
The old man smiled, saying, “Don’t worry, young man. You haven’t lived here. I think you can try living here for a few days. Then you can decide whether to live for a long time or not.” Yu thought it fair enough, and finally signed a contract(合同) of five days. The room was quite comfortable. The cleaners took away the trash every day. The hallway was always tidy and clean.
On the fifth day, when Yu wanted to talk with the old man about the long-time rent, he broke a glass carelessly. He was very nervous, feeling that the glass was expensive.

Yu answered quickly, “I put them outside.” The old man went out at once. After looking at the trash bag, he came back to the room with a gloomy face. He said to Yu, “You can move out tomorrow, because I won’t rent the room to you.”
