THE STORY OF THE FIRST CAR

Well there are many stories that have changed my life , but the most important one is the story of the first car which also gave rise to an automobile giant-Mercedes Benz.

The story begins with a five year boy Carl Benz.  He had two siblings, a brother and a sister . He was the youngest of them. They were having a nice peaceful life . Though it did not last forever. Three years later his sister died because she was given a wrong cure for fever . His father was completely disheartened . He had  loved his daughter so much that he could not love anyone else with the same intensity. He stopped supporting his family morally and also financially. He left his job and became a drunkard.

Carl had dreamed of machines that would transport people from one place to another. He told about his dream to his mother. His mother was very understanding and knew that Carl would not be able to succeed in the place where they lived.  Hence one morning without the consent of his father , the two brothers with their mother left to their grandparents  . With the help of his grandparents savings Carl and his brother John were able to study . Carl was very intelligent . He grasped everything he saw around him.

Though Carl had to leave his dream due to the sudden death of his grandparents. His mother became ill. His brother was earning money but it was not sufficient to fill their stomach. Hence Carl started working as a fruit vendor . His brother did not like this. He was working in the royal family and so he took Carl to the king . The king gave Carl full support and money to fulfil his  dream.

Soon, the masterpiece of Carl's hard work was created. He presented the king with the car . The king gifted the car to his daughter named Mercedes . So, the car came to be called Mercedes 35 horsepower motor wagon.

And so with further support Carl set up his own car factory . Now Mercedes Benz is a greatly respected in  the automobile industry.
