ness soon after high school. Orville designed and then built a printing press(印刷機(jī))for this enterprise. At first, they did contract printing for other people, and soon one of their customers during the early 1890s was Father Milton39。s church. They also tried the newspaper business, and although their two newspapers, the West Side News and The Evening Item were considered to be of high quality, Dayton already had daily newspapers, so the Wrights soon returned to contract printing. Branching out into other areas, they also opened a bicycle business. Bicycling was the fastest growing sport in the country at that time, and their repair shop soon led them into building bicycles of their own design, often with tools of their own construction, such as the lathe(車(chē)床)driven by a onecylinder gasoline engine built by Orville. The bicycle shop would provide the livelihood(生計(jì))that would allow them to carry out their experiments on airplanes.

She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless. I then thought about how the crown, a reminder of another39。s care and love, had protected me so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn39。t have a wallet so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better. I feel rich and thank you for being a good friend she said and we were both a bit teary.

I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used and thought I39。ll give that to my friend. I opened it and inside found $100. The universe is very just and if your heart is open the reward always es.(1)What did the 1937 crown coin from the author39。s father mean to her mother?
