Before they could succeed, they had to overcome thousands of difficulties which were put in their way. The following is one of such examples. George Stephenson(1781～1848), a famous British inventor, made the first train in 1825, using a steam engine. When he was experimenting with the engine on the train, he met with troubles from the government in the country. They said the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that the hot coals from it would set fire to their houses. People believed what they said. George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails, could pull carriages full of goods and passengers and that there was no great harm to them. It was a very difficult matter for him to make them believe. However, after some time, he was able to do it, and the first train that was driven by George Stephenson himself proved what he had said. On the train, there was a new steam engine. It was invented by him and was proved a complete success. The first day when the train was on the rails, people along the way heard the noise of the train far away, and saw it running quickly to them. They thought it was a genie. They ran quickly home for fear and closed their doors tightly. They did not dare to come out until it had passed. A week later an old woman still said that her hen had been so frightened that it hadn't laid any eggs for three days. 1．The story tells us something about the ______.
