* Benz's story ... *


 August 5, 1888 ...


 Weisslock, a small village in Baden, Germany.


 The time is approaching noon.  A group of women work in a wheat field that stretches as far as the eye can see.  Their children are playing nearby.  That's when they saw a sight.  Along the way, a woman in a black gown rides a horse-drawn carriage with her two children.  But what surprised them was something else.  There were no horses in front of the cart.  A horse-drawn carriage?  At that time a woman sent her child to the next priest as soon as they heard about the sorcerers who were kidnapping children.  The church bell rang and the priest gathered the people.  They were ready to face the witch.  After a while, the train arrived.  But suddenly the car stopped.  The woman got out of the car.  They checked the vehicle.




 Then they walked towards the nearest hospital.  When they saw no one there, they went to the next bar.  They asked for 10 liters of Legrain.  Ligraine was a petroleum product.  It was used to remove stains from clothes.


 They dropped the legrain.  The journey began.


 This was the first road trip in history.  Wife of Benz, a fan of motor vehicles



 They were Bertha Benz and their sons Richard and Owen.
