- We begin with a youthful dreamer. To him, that little train—the boxes and blocks and wisps of string—is a fabulous streamliner, like the one that roars past his home-town station, or the one that can be dreamed about through the glass of the toy-store window. So there is a father who loves the boy, and he digs up the money to make the dream come true. And then the boy just goes back to his boxes and his string, for it is something he himself has created. And where does that leave everybody? Well, it can be very baffling to parents. But by and by, as dreaming boys mature into creative men, how good it is to watch them get busy fashioning triumphs out of steel, or maybe test tubes, or possibly the strings of a violin.
