In 1955, Ray Kroc visited a small restaurant in California． The restaurant was built next to the road, so customers could drive up to the restaurant and drive away easily. The restaurant was owned and operated by the McDonald brothers, Dick and “Mac”.

　　　 The McDonald brother had developed a new idea for their restaurant. The brother called their ideas a “drive-in” restaurant, and the customers could order food from their cars.

　　　 The restaurant also cut down the number of choices on the menu, so the cooks could make the food very quickly. The restaurant specialized in making hamburgers, French fries, and chocolate shakes.

　　　 Ray Kroc recognized the potential (潜力) of the McDonald brothers’ restaurant, and he offered to buy the rights to the two brothers’ idea． Mr. Kroc wanted to open his own restaurants and he wanted to use the idea of a drive-in restaurant. He also wanted to use the brothers’ family name. The two brothers agreed and the McDonald’s restaurant chain (连锁店) was born.

　　　 At this point, McDonald’s is now the world’s largest restaurant corporation. In the United States, there are more than 5,000 McDonald’s restaurants. The McDonald’s chain also operates in 60 other countries. In 1992, McDonald’s made more than $16 billion from its restaurants around the world．

　　　 The largest McDonald’s restaurant is in Beijing, China． This restaurant has 1,000 workers. Also, as many as 700 customers can sit in this restaurant at one time.

Disney decided to build his park in California, and in 1952 he began to buy land． This proved to be a difficult task, since the land he wanted was owned by no fewer than twenty families. In 1954, he sent four members of his staff around the United States looking for ideas at established amusement parks. The only idea on which they found general agreement was that Disney was crazy. Owners of other parks said it was impossible to succeed without dangerous rides and using methods that were at least a little dishonest. However, Disney went on with his plans for a clean, safe park, which he decided to call Disneyland．

At last Disneyland was built and opened to the public． Very quickly, it came to be regarded as one of the wonders of the modern world through its gates.

Disneyland was a personal satisfaction to Disney. It expressed his ideas of all that is true and good and beautiful in this world． He never tired of visiting the park himself, of expanding it and improving it. Even today, Disneyland is kept spotless(无污点的). Every night, every street and walkway are washed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to scrape out(刮去) chewing gum dropped by visitors.

Disney himself didn’t live long enough to visit his Florida park. Death came in December 1966. On the day of his death, this headline appeared in the New York Times:

Walt Disney, 65, dies on coast

Founded an empire on a mouse

He was a dreamer who had worked hard to make his dreams come true, and he had brought joy to millions.
