Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison was a very
special person. He invented many things.
As a child, he was always asking
questions. Thomas had hearing problems, but that did not
stop him from trying anything. He was always building things.
As Thomas grew older his
hearing got worse. He still did not stop asking questions and
inventing things. He invented a talking machine that was
called the phonograph and played records. Today we play tapes
and CDs instead of records.
Thomas also invented the
light bulb and a machine that showed movies. He made more than
1,000 inventions in all.
