Thomas Alva Edison is scientist

A young boy of six of seven became the subject of talk in a village. He was very inquisitive about things around him. People soon got tired when they talked to him, because he always asked, “why, why, why”. Sometimes it was difficult to satisfy him with answers and to satisfy his own inquisitiveness, the boy often undertook some risky adventure. For example, once the boy set his fathers born on fire only to see how it could burn and then what would happen to the barn afterwards.

 His father often got angry. But at the same time he was proud of the young boy. His relations often avoided him. Most villagers knew him for his deed. But there was only one person who did never feel annoyed with the boy. And that person was his loving mother. Do you know who this boy was? He was Thomas Alva Edison. Alva was born in a village of Milan in the United states  of America on the 11^th of February, 1847 Young Alva Always wanted to do some kind of experiments with anything around him, particularly with the chemicals.

And he got enough opportunities to do this when the Edison family moved to a town called Port Huron in Michigan. Their new house was large and had an underground room called cellar. Alva at once occupied this room as he decided to make it his workshop. His father did not object. Soon he started his work. He collected old bottles, pebbles, herbs, roots and what not. But he needed chemicals and for that he needed money. But Alva was a most self –reliant boy. He did not ask his parents for money.

On the other hand, he borrowed his father’s horse and cart and took Michael their servant but Alva’s most intimate friend, with him. Together they loaded the cart with fruit and vegetables. Alva helped to grow the fruit and vegetables in the grounds around their new house. Then they sold these from door to door. And in a few days they made some money. Then Alva managed to get some books on chemistry. He also bought chemicals. Thus at the age of ten he had his own laboratory and he had Michael as his assistant.
