One day a man put an ad in most of the newspapers in England. He said that he himself was a young man of millions of pounds（英鎊）and of great knowledge. He' d like to choose a girl to be his wife, and the girl must be like the one in books written by Somerest Maugham. This ad was at once known by thousands of parents and young girls. Parents went to shops to look for the books written by Maugham. They bought those books for their danghters as presents. Girls tried to get those books to read. They wanted to know what kind of person the rich writer wished for. Before long all the books written by Maugham were sold out and the writer was known all over the country. Who was the rich man? It was Somerest Maugham who put an ad in the newspapers! The ad saved his books and it made him famous, too!

有一天，一個男人在英國的各大報紙上登錄了一個廣告。說他自己是擁有數百萬英鎊資產的知識青年，他想選擇一個自己喜歡的女孩做妻子，而且女孩一定要像 Somerest Maugham 書中寫得那樣。這個廣告轟動了數以千萬的父母和年輕女孩。父母們區各大書店買Maugham的書，像禮物一樣送給女兒。女孩們認真的翻讀著Maugham的書，看看到底是什么樣的女孩符合條件。不久Maugham的書被銷售一空，并且成為了全國知名作家。 到底誰是這個富有的男人？其實就是Somerest Maugham。他利用廣告，使自己的書銷售一空，并成為了名人。
