The young man asked, "How, Mr. Addison, can you invent so many things and achieve your fame?"
The scientist said, "It seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day."
The young man nodded, "Yes. I have been dreaming of being a person as notable as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become reputable. I don' t know when I can achieve my fame."
Addison told him, "Don't worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!"
"Why should I?" the young man was puzzled.
Addison said, "What you dream is actually a high building. You never think of how to build it with bricks. Thus the building will never come into reality. However, your story can serve as a mirror.

Jules Verne's most famous book is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. (A league is an old word meaning a distance of about three miles). In those days submarines had not been invented but he described an underwater ship very like a modem one.
