English Original
Henry Ford didn't always pay attention in school.
One day, he and a friend took a watch apart. The angry teacher made them stay after school as punishment, demanding they fix the watch. Unaware of young Ford's genius, the teacher was astonished when the mechanical wizard repaired it in just ten minutes and went home.
Ford was always fascinated by how things worked. In one experiment, he plugged the spout of a teapot and placed it on a fire. The water boiled into steam, which, with no way to escape, caused the teapot to explode. The blast cracked a mirror and broke a window, leaving the young inventor badly scalded.
Years of curiosity and tinkering ultimately paid off for Ford. He dreamed of a horseless carriage. When he finally built one, he changed the world of transportation forever.

亨利·福特在学校里并不总是专心听讲。
有一天，他和一个朋友拆开了一块手表。生气的老师罚他们放学后留下，要求他们修好手表。老师并不知道小福特的天赋，当这位机械奇才仅用十分钟就修好手表回家时，老师惊讶不已。
福特总是痴迷于事物的运作原理。在一次实验中，他堵住茶壶的壶嘴，然后把它放在火上。水沸腾变成蒸汽，由于无处逸出，导致茶壶爆炸。爆炸震裂了一面镜子，打破了一扇窗户，这位年轻的发明家也被严重烫伤。
多年的好奇心和动手实践最终为福特带来了回报。他梦想制造一辆无马马车。当他最终成功造出时，他永远地改变了世界的交通运输方式。
