Once, when it was time for dinner, Edison still didn't come back. My parents are worried and look around. It was not until the evening that I found him in the hut next to the yard. When his father saw him lying motionless in a haystack full of eggs, he asked Edison what he was doing. Little Edison replied that he was incubating chickens. It turned out that he was surprised to see that hens could hatch chicks, and he always wanted to try it himself.
At that time, his father pulled him up with anger and laughter and told others that chickens could not be hatched. On the way home, he asked inexplicably, "Why can hens hatch chicks and I can't?" ?
2. The first taste test
When Edison was young, he often went to play in the mill of his neighbor Muir Winchester's house. One day, in Winchester's mill, he saw Winchester doing a flying device experiment with a balloon. This experiment fascinated Edison. He thinks that if a person's stomach is full of qi, he will surely ascend to heaven.
A few days later, Edison mixed several chemical raw materials and gave them to his father's assistant, Michael Oates. Edison told Michael Oates that people would fly after eating this kind of food, and Oates almost fainted after eating Edison's "flying agent". Edison was whipped by his father, and his parents were vigilant, advising their children not to play with Edison and stay away from him. ?
3. Last words
On Edison's deathbed, doctors and many of Edison's relatives and friends sat around his bed. Seeing his breathing getting weaker and weaker, his heart finally stopped beating. But just as the doctor was about to announce his death, he suddenly sat up again and said a very strange sentence: "I didn't expect it to be so beautiful there." With these words, he died.
Step 4 drop out of school
When Eddie was eight years old, his parents sent him to a rural primary school, thinking that he could go to school safely from then on. Who knows, he still loves to get to the bottom of it, and often asks the teacher dumbfounded and embarrassed. Once in an arithmetic class, the teacher wrote "2+2=4" on the blackboard. Edison immediately stood up and asked, "Teacher, why is 2 plus 2 equal to 4?"
This question puzzled the teacher. He thinks Edison is a troublemaker and always disagrees with his teacher. So Edison attended classes for three months and was driven home by the teacher.
5. Edison's Road to Business
One morning when he was twelve years old, Edison suddenly said to his mother, Mom, I want to sell newspapers, okay? Mom was shocked and dad was angry. But after Edison's repeated requests, his parents finally agreed. He happily ran to the railway company and got permission to sell newspapers on the train.
It is 100 km from Hulun Port to Detroit. After working as a newspaper boy in the car for several months, al opened two stores in Detroit, one selling magazines and the other selling vegetables, fruits and cream.
He also hired two teenagers to help look after the shop and agreed to share the bonus with them. Soon another train was added to the railway, and he sent a newsboy to sell it with the train. In this way, a newsboy of 12 years old unconsciously became a young capitalist.
