Then the farmer went to the cow. “Dear cow, please help me pull up this beet. I want to eat it for dinner, “said the farmer. “Sure, I’ll help, “said the cow. But the beet did not come up. So the farmer went to a goat. “my lovely goat, please help me pull up this beet. I want to eat it for dinner.” Said the farmer. “Sure, I’ll help”. Said the goat. But the beet did not come up.
Next the farmer went to the cat. “Oh my dear cat, please help me, pull up this beet. I want to eat it for dinner,” said the farmer. “Sure, I help, “said the cat. But again the beet did not come up.

Orville Wright
Orville Wright was a co-inventor of the airplane and the first person to fly a powered machine. Born on August 19th, 1871 in Dayton, Ohio, Orville and his brother, Wilbur, were very interested in flying.
In 1900, they constructed a glider that could carry a pilot. In the following year, they constructed a wind tunnel and tested about 200 wing designs.
On December 17th, 1903, Orville became the first person to fly a powered aircraft. He stayed on the air for 12 seconds at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This experiment cost a lot of money, but he never gave up. He designed and sold bicycles for a living.
In 1905, Wright brothers offered the airplane to the US War Department, but it was declined. Nevertheless, they obtained a patent for the airplane in 1906.
In 1908, Orville and Wilbur completed the first airplane for the US Army; but it crashed. A year later, however, an identical craft was tested and accepted. In the same year, Wright brother established the Wrights Company to manufacture airplanes.
