She headed for the sheet metal processing shop, seeing with bitter heart the compound of the works destroyed by the Japanese imperialists. Then she stopped by a locomotive belching forth steam.

She exchanged greetings with two young men working with great enthusiasm there and asked if they had ever driven a locomotive.

One of them said that before the liberation of the country he had worked as an assistant engineer but the Japanese engineer had never allowed him even to touch mechanism far from teaching how to drive. He proudly spoke that, unable to repress the then indignation, he, together with friends, had adjusted the locomotive from some days ago and made a fire in the locomotive that morning.

Listening to him with great satisfaction, she stated that they were the true masters of new Korea and it was no problem to rehabilitate the iron works because there were comrades like them.

She got on the locomotive after him and let him whistle.

The whistle rang throughout the works.

The elevated man began to run the locomotive. People rushed there from far and near.

Seeing the crowd full of emotion, she took the whistle handle to make a whistle once again.

At last she got off the locomotive and said with emphasis that the whistle heralded the start of the rehabilitation of the works.
