Excerpt

[Jonathan] heard a sound. It was coming from behind the wall.
He put his ear up against the wall and listened very carefully.
The noise sounded like a train. Just then the wall slid open and
there was a subway train. Someone yelled, "LAST STOP, EVERYBODY
OUT!" And all kinds of people came out of Jonathan's wall.
ran around his apartment and out the front door.

"If the subway stops here then it's a subway station!
You shouldn't build your house in a subway station! Our
computer says it's a subway station and our computer
is never wrong." - Mayor

"A subway station is in my house at 980 Young Street.
Please change it." "Certainly," said the old man. "I remember
doing that. I didn't know where to put it."
