Sparks dad hired some electricians to wire the farm which sparked Sparks interest in electricity they had to wire the house and barn and out buildings they even put a pole out between the house and the barn with a yard light on it which was able to be turned on and off from either the house or the barn amazing to the young Sparky. The first time Sparky came close to the power of electricity he was playing in the barn and there was these brand new metal shiny outlet boxes with little holes in them just large enough to stick a nail through which young Sparky could not resist. The sparks flew and the fuse blew and the lights didn't come on after that. Sparky was terrified he knew his dad would be unhappy but some how his dad knew that he was just a curious boy that met no harm.
