AN OUTDOOR CONVERSATION
By Freddie Oates
Beniamin Franklin and Th na A.
Edison were standing on a hillside
holding- a conversation. Franklin
asked Edison the following questions:
"What are those big birds flying
up there?”
"These are airplanes,” E re
plied.
“How are they steered?”
"Men and women run them. The
men are called aviators and the wo
men are called aviatxix’s.”
’TChat is that thing winding around
the hiil over there with the smoke
coming out of it? I; look; lik.- -smoke
crawling on the ground. ’
“That’s a locomotive. ME Franklin.
It hauls passengers and freight. It i
gets its power from c>a! and steam.
"Are those wires clothes lines fas- -
t*ned to those square iron poles?”
“No, they are electric power lines.
They carry electricity all over t he •
city and country for electric lights
washing machines and'stoves."
“Do they get the electricity fre-wr
lightning?”
“No, they get it from a huge gena'
eraior tifct runs by a waterfall;’
"That is a queer looking hor se that
7t ! wj k riding.”
"That ■'« a bicycle.'
V, n<& do you call those buggies
-g'h'ng alvrg the road.”
"Thev’re automobiles.”
M v this world has changed since
f-:ved on-it.”
