One day he was sitting in the kitchen with his grandmother. He saw a kettle on the stove. Soon steam began to rise out of the kettle, and the lid was shaking.
“Grandma, what’s in the kettle?” he asked. “Water, my child. Nothing but water.”
“But I know there is something . It pushes the lid up.” “Oh, that’s only steam.”

“How does 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 hard and succeeded in making steam work for people.

Strange things happen to the time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, one hour apart.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters different time zones every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.

If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling west, today becomes tomorrow, traveling east, it is yesterday.

People from the south speak more slowly and they change the / / sound to / /, so that “ swim” sounds like “swimming”. Another example is about the word “evening”. To most of Americans, it means the time from the sunset to the early part of the night. But in the southern part, it means any time after twelve o’clock noon.
Different words are used in different parts of the country to mean the same thing. For example, people from the east call a soft drink “soda”, while in the west, people call it “tonic” or “pop”.
