5. Edison
Edison is a world-famous inventor. When I was a child, because my family was poor, I only went to school for three months, and I started selling newspapers at the age of eleven or twelve. He loves science and often saves money. Buy science books, newspapers and chemicals. The tools of his experiment are some bottles and cans picked out from the garbage.
Edison once sold newspapers on the train, and the conductor agreed that he occupied a corner of the smoking carriage. He moved chemicals and bottles there, sold out newspapers and did all kinds of interesting experiments. When the train started, it suddenly shook and knocked down a bottle of white phosphorus. Phosphorus burns as soon as it touches the air, and many people come to put out the fire with Edison.
The conductor was so angry that he threw all Edison's experiments out and slapped him hard that he was deaf in one ear.
Edison's determination to study science has not wavered. He scrimped and saved, and started his chemical experiment again. Once sulfuric acid burned his clothes and once nitric acid almost blinded his eyes. Undaunted by the danger, he still stubbornly did the experiment. Edison tried to produce electric light. I don't know how many experiments he made before he found a filament with low price and long life.
He often works in the laboratory for dozens of hours. When he is really tired, he lies on the experimental platform and sleeps for a while. After such unremitting efforts, he finally found a suitable filament and invented the electric light. Later, Edison invented movies, phonographs and so on. He invented 1000 kinds of things in his life.
