Dr. George Washington Carver“George can make sick plants well. He is a plant doctor, ” farmers in Missouri said.
George was a young boy then. But farmers sent for him when their crops did not grow well. Women asked him to help them when their roses would not bloom (开花) in spring.
George was born a slave (奴隶) , in 1862. As a child, he was not allowed to attend the nearby school. But he was always asking questions.
“Why are some roses red and others yellow?” he would ask “Can you change the colour of a flower by changing the seed (种子)? What makes rain fall?”
No one he knew could answer such questions. George tried to find answers for himself, some of the answers were in books, so he taught himself to read. At 14, he went to school for the first time.
