a English reading sample

The reading experts my co-teacher uses are completely random, and I think often poorly written for a foreign language class. This passage was kind of okay until the last 2 sentences. 



  About one hundred years ago, there was a young man in a small village in Bohemia. He worked in a city nearby. Every day he had to go there by train. The trains were so slow that many people complained. But not this young man. He was glad to close his eyes and 
listen to the sound of the wheels on the rails. He thought the wheels were singing a song - a song of the rails.
  One evening he sat listening to the sound of the wheels. Then, suddenly, he thought the sound was a little strange. "There's something wrong," said the young man to himself.
  He jumped up. "Stop the train," he cried. "Stop the train. There's danger before us!"
  The people of the train thought that the young man was foolish. Then one of them came up to him and said, "What? How do you know?"
  "By the sound of the wheels," answered the young man. Slowly the train stopped. Soon a man came running up with the news. The young man was right. The rail was broken just in front of the train.
  This young man later became a great musician. His name was Anton Dvorak.
