The car was invented just a century ago. You may know all kinds of cars' names, but many people don't know who was the inventor of the first car.
The first car was invented not by an Englishman, but by an American. His name was Henry Ford.
Henry was born in a poor family. He was the eldest of the six children. When he was a boy, he became interested in watches and machines. When he was twelve years old, his mother died. Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents a week.
In the evening, he repaired watches for another dollar a week. The hard life made him strong and able.
