19世纪俄国文学巨匠列夫·托尔斯泰在《一个人需要很多土地吗?》这本小册子中叙述了这样一个故事。巴霍姆到草原去购买土地。卖地的酋长出了一个奇怪的地价:谁出1000卢布,谁就可以得到土地,只要他在日出时从规定的地点出发,在日落前返回原出发地,那么他所走过的线路圈起的土地就全部归属于他。但是,如果他在太阳落山前赶不回原出发地,那么走得再多也得不到半点土地,同时那1000卢布也就算白花了。巴霍姆觉得这个条件对自己有利,于是就付了1000卢市,接受了这笔买卖。
The 19th century Russian literary master Lev Tolstoy describes such a story in “A Man Requires Much Land?” Barhom to the prairie to buy land. The stranger who sold the land had a weird price: anyone who paid 1,000 rubles could get the land as long as he departed from the place of origin at sunrise, and returned to the place of origin before sunset, The land belongs to him all. However, if he can not get back to the original place before the sun goes down, he will not get the slightest land to go any further, and the 1000 rubles will be white as well. Barholm felt that this condition was good for himself, so he paid 1,000 rubles and accepted the sale.
