    Henry Bond was about ten years old when his father died. His mother found it difficult to provide for the support of a large family, but still everything was left in her care. By good management, however, she tried to do well and also to send Henry, the oldest, to school, and to supply him, for the most part, with such books as he needed.

At one time, however, Henry wanted a grammar, in order to join a class in that study, and his mother could not help him with the money to buy it. He was very much troubled about it, and went to bed with a heavy heart thinking what could be done.

On waking in the morning, he found that a deep snow had fallen, and the cold wind was blowing furious angry. “Ah,” said he, “it is an ill wind that blows nobody good.”

He rose, ran to house of a neighbor, and offered his service to clear a path around his houses. The offer was accepted. Having completed this work, and received his pay, he went to another place for the same purpose, and then to another, until he had earned enough to buy a grammar.

When school began, Henry was in his seat, the happiest boy there, ready to begin the lesson in his new book.

From that time, Henry was always the first in all his classes. He knew no such word as fail, but always succeeded in all he had tried.

65. Why did he want a grammar at one time?
66. What did he find on waking one morning?           

67. How did Henry get the money for his grammar?

When he was only 14 years old, William Kamkwamba started to dream up a windmill that would produce electricity for his village in Malawi in Africa. What was the trouble? As Malawi was experiencing the worst famine(饥荒) in 50 years, William had to drop out of school because his family could not afford $80 every year. This meant he not only had no money to buy the parts, but also had no formal education to teach him how to put them together. However, he wouldn’t give up.

Strong-willed, he headed to the local library and read its limited (有限的) selection of textbooks, then gathered some waste parts — a bicycle engine, bamboo poles(杆), a tractor fan, rubber belts, a bike chain ring — and brought his dream to life, building a working windmill. It took him five years to perfect the design. And he went on to found the Moving Windmills Project in 2008 to foster(促进) economic development and education projects in the countryside in Malawi.

In 2009, William shared his moving story in a book. Now, the story of creativity is being adapted (改编) for young hearts and minds in the beautifully pictured book. William’s story shines with all the more cheerfulness in the hands of 27-year-old artist Elizabeth Zunon.Her rich and romantic paintings excite the young readers with wonderful abilities.
