Switzerland(瑞士) is famous for its watches。 However, this country didn’t invent the watch。It was the British who did it。 Here is a story of how the watch was brought to Switzerland。

Many years ago , an Englishman was travelling to Italy 。 On his way he stopped in a small town in South Switzerland。 This Englishman travelled in a carriage(马车) inside which there was a carriage watch。 This was the earliest kind of watch。 A native shop assistant (售货员) happened to see the watch 。 He wondered what it was and asked the Englishman about it。 “ It is a carriage watch 。” said the man 。 This machine tells the time but now it isn’t working 。

At once the shop assistant offered to try to repair it 。 So the traveller handed him the watch。 The assistant was a very wise man 。 So it was not surprising that he managed to repair it 。 He even remembered how it was made。 As soon as the traveller had gone on his way , he made a watch exactly the same type。

Thus the watch-making was started in Switzerland。 Today Swiss watches are sold in stores all over the world。

Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons。 “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered。 “It must be to the cleverest son。 But which one is the cleverest?”

He called his three sons to him。 “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room。 Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune。”

“It is a big room,” said the eldest son。

“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son。

But the youngest son said nothing。 He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “let us go to the market。”

The eldest son bought straw with his coin。 But one coin bought only a bit of straw。 Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room。

The second son bought sand with his coin。 But one coin bought only a bit of sand。 Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor。

“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son。 “You don't have any straw。”

“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily。 “You don't have any sand。”

“I bought this,” said the youngest son。

“A candle!” cried his brothers。 “What good is a candle?”

“Watch”, said the youngest son。

He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor。 It was filled with light!

“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said。

And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light。
