At the beginning of the auto industry, many people were attracted to Detroit. Nike was one of them. He worked in a factory. There was no available automatic in that factory. Some part of the work must be done by ax. And the ax was awkward to handle. So Nick availed himself of every opportunity to improve instruments. He would design two to three instruments a month on an average. By and by, he became an authority on it. As one of the best workers, he was awarded bonuses often. Recently, Nick was assigned to fix an engine to avert any possible damage. He drew an axis on it first then fixed it carefully. He also brought an auxiliary engine with him. But just after he finished repairing, he was aware of his mistake right away. An awful accident happened next. The engine exploded and a big fire ensued. The people who stood on the avenue tried to extinguish the fire, but it s of no avail. Fortunately, nobody was injured. The boss awaited Nick at the meeting room. Nick didn t want to avoid punishment. To his surprise, the boss didn t blame him. Instead, he gave a book about aviation to Nick. And the author was the boss himself!
在汽车工业发展之初，许多人被吸引到底特律。尼克是其中之一。他在一家工厂工作。那家工厂没有可用的自动机械。部分活儿必须用斧头完成。但斧头使用不便。于是尼克利用各种机会来改进仪器。他一般说来一个月设计两到三件仪器。渐渐地，他成为这方面的权威。作为最好的工人之一，他常常被授予奖金。最近，尼克被指派修理一个发电机以避免它可能产生的任何伤害。他首先在发电机上画了一条轴线然后仔细修理起来。他还带了一个辅助的发电机。但他一完成修理，立刻就意识到他犯了一个错误。可怕的事故紧接着发生。发电机爆炸，大火随之发生。站在林荫道上的人们想熄灭大火，但不起作用。幸运的是没人受伤。老板在会议室等候尼克。尼克不想逃避惩罚。但出乎意料的是，老板没有责怪他，反而还送了一本关于航空的书给他。作者就是老板自己。
