A long time ago, Milton S. Hershey, the creator of the popular chocolate bars, was dipped in warm chocolate. I know all about it. My grandfather was there!
At nineteen, Hershey established a candy business in Philadelphia. Although it failed, he tried again in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels. But Hershey was not content. He began experimenting with chocolate and managed to sell his first chocolate bars in 1900. They were an instant success. In 1903, Hershey built a factory.
Hershey was usually pleasant and kind and enjoyed a good joke. However, in his chocolate factory, he held high standards for all the workers. He was both respected and feared. His anger would burst out when things didn't go as he'd expected, and workers were fired for mistakes.
My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man. His job was to push the vats(大桶)of warm chocolate to a storage area. To do this, he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp(斜坡)and across the walkway. One day, Hershey was walking backward on the walkway while my grandfather was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp. Bump. Clunk. Ker-plop! Hershey fell backward into the vat. Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out. Grandfather froze in fear. Was he going to lose the job?
Hershey stood stiffly with hands on his hips. Color rose in his face. He said something in a low voice. Then he smiled. " It's not your fault, son," he said. "I need to watch where I’m going." He put some chocolate in his mouth. "Mmm, that’s good," he said. Everyone laughed. The tour continued, with Hershey dripping chocolate as he went. And Grandfather kept his job.

很久以前,条形巧克力的发明人米尔顿·S·贺喜非常喜欢热巧克力。我知道这一切,(因为)我的祖父就(曾经)和他在一起。

19岁时,贺喜在费城创办了一家糖果公司。尽管(后来)失败了,他还在其他几个城市进行尝试,并在 Crystal A Caramels取得了成功。但贺喜并不满足,他开始对巧克力进行试验,并在1900年成功地卖出他的第一个条形巧克力。他们马上就取得了成功。在1903年,贺喜建立了(条形巧克力生产)厂。

贺喜通常是个亲切、慈祥和喜欢幽默的人。然而,在他的工厂里,他对所有的工人都有很高的标准。工人们对他非常敬畏。如果事情不像他期望的那样,他马上就会暴跳如雷。工人们也会因为出错而被解雇。

我祖父年轻的时候就在他的工厂里开始工作,他的工作就是将装有热巧克力的大桶推到储存间。在这个过程中,他要推着沉重的大桶上一个斜坡并通过马路。一天,贺喜在马路上倒退着走,(正好)我祖父推着大桶上斜坡。砰地一声,贺喜往后倒进了桶内。其他所有的人都屏住呼吸,跑过来将他拉起。祖父因为害怕愣在那里。他会失去工作吗?

贺喜将手放在嘴里,坚强地站立着,脸色也好了起来。他低声自言自语(了一会儿),然后他笑这说“这不是你的错,小伙子。我应该看路的。”他将许多巧克力放进嘴里,“嗯,很好吃。”他说道。所有人都笑了起来。然后他继续走,走的时候巧克力还从他的身上滴下来。我祖父的工作也没有丢。
