England and then in the United States. Later people didn't like them, In 1928, Donald Duncan went into the
yo-yo business. He had some "Yo-yo men" and let them go door to door selling yo-yos. Soon more and more
people began to play yo-yos. Today the name Duncan still goes with yo-yo.
     People named teddy bears after Teddy Roosevelt, a president of the United States. But he didn't invent
teddy bears. People play crayons (蜡笔) many years ago. Edwin Binney and Harold C. Smith decided to
