The story of Edison's childhood

When Edison was a child, he loved science and everything, so he wanted to try. Once, he saw a hen hatching eggs and asked his mother curiously, "Why is the hen lying motionless on the eggs?" ? Are you sick? His mother told him that this is an incubating chick, and in a few days, a chick will come out of the eggshell. "

After listening to his mother, Edison felt very novel. He thought, hens can lie on eggs and hatch chicks. How do eggs become chickens? Can people lie on it? He decided to give it a try Edison brought some eggs from home and found a secluded place in his neighbor's house. He first built a nest, covered it with soft thatch, then put the eggs away and squatted on it. He wants to see with his own eyes how eggs hatch chickens. It's getting dark and Edison hasn't come home yet. The family were very anxious, so they looked for him everywhere. Looking around, I found Edison in my neighbor's backyard. I saw him sitting motionless on a grass nest with many blades of grass on his body and head. The family saw it, angry and funny, and asked him:

What are you doing here?

"I'm here to hatch eggs! The chicken is about to hatch. "

"What eggs are hatched, hurry up!" Dad shouted.

"Hens can hatch eggs. I want to see how to hatch chicks."

"No, no! Hurry home! " Dad lost his temper again.

Mother didn't blame and make fun of him, because she knew the child's personality and smiled and said, "People's body temperature is not as high as that of chickens. You can't hatch like this. " "Edison didn't hatch chickens, but he increased his knowledge through this incubation activity. Another time, Edison saw birds flying freely in the sky, thinking, birds can fly, why can't people fly? Can you add wings to people? It suddenly occurred to him that balloons can fly into the sky without wings. How about inflating people's bodies? So I found a powder that can produce gas and let a little friend drink it to see if he can fly like a balloon. But after a while, the little friend had a stomachache, cried loudly and almost died. For this matter, dad gave him a good beating, and he couldn't tell what experiment he would do in the future. But Edison was still unconvinced and said, "I don't do experiments. How can I know if people can fly?" "
