Thomas Edison was born in 1847, and died in 1931. When he was a child, he was always trying out new ideas. When he was five years old, one day his father saw him sitting on some eggs. He asked his father,"Hens are able to have chicks. Why can"t I?" Young Tom was in school for only three months. His teacher didn"t think he was a good pupil, because he asked a lot of strange questions. So the teacher sent him away from school. And his mother began to teach him herself. He became interested in science. He grew vegetables and sold them. With the money he built a science lab. Years later, he became a great inventor!中文：托馬斯愛迪生生於1847年，死於1931年。當他小的時候，他總是嘗試一些新的想法。當他五歲時，有一天父親看見他坐在幾個雞蛋上面。他問爸爸：“母雞能孵蛋，為什麼我不能？” 小湯姆在學校只呆了三個月。他的老師認為他不是好學生，因為他總問一些奇怪的問題。因此老師將他趕出學校，而他媽媽開始親自教他。他對科學很感興趣。他種了一些菜，然後把菜賣掉。用賺來的錢他建了一個科學實驗室。 數年之後，他成為一位偉大的發明家。
