A GRAIN OF WHEAT 139 



She is making the clouds. 



These clouds are made of tiny, tiny water 

 drops. 



We might call them water dust. 



How light they are ! 



But steam is really very strong. 



He is a giant. 



Men shut him up in boilers. 



They give him only a little hole. Through 

 this he escapes. 



He pushes against machinery in escaping. 



In this way Giant Steam runs steamboats and 

 locomotives. 



He runs mills, too. 



He does many other kinds of work.
