    戴维在一家炉厂工作。工厂外部的墙被漆成了蓝色。一天,老板在纸上画了一种新的炉灶的轮廓。戴维一再建议,如果没有全面的市场调查就不要生产它。老板的能力在它事业开端的时候很突出,但现在他没有一盎司的常识。那是他应该克服的缺点。但老板被市场外表的样子所蒙蔽。他过高估计了市场需要。工人们穿着蓝工作服,白天黑夜地工作着。工厂增加了产量。但老板没有找到产品的出路。价格战的爆发使工厂很快没有钱了。失败让老板丧失了勇气。戴维对结果感到很难过。他只有辞职。无论如何,他也需要一些野外的活动。他应当去户外呼吸呼吸新鲜空气。在一个晴朗的日子,戴维去了远离中心的郊区。他已经准备好了露营装备。郊区的景色非常秀丽。河水已经溢出了两岸。天气很热,戴维脱下了外衣。多么美好的一天啊。
