    James Watt was an English boy. He liked asking questions and was always thinking hard.

    One day he was sitting in the kitchen with his grandmother. There he saw a kettle (壶) on the fire. Some steam began to come out of the kettle. The lid (盖子) was shaking. "Grandma, what's in the kettle?" he asked. "Water, my child… nothing, but water." "But I know there is something else. It pushes the lid up. How did the steam get under the lid?" "It comes from the hot water."

    The boy said to himself, "The steam must be very strong. It can push things. If there is more water, the steam will be much stronger."

    Many years later James Watt tried to make steam work for people. He gave the world the first engine.
