Thomas Edison was a great American inventor. He was born on February 11th in 1847 at Milan, Ohio and died on October 18, 1931. When he was a child he was always trying out new ideas.

One day when he was five years old, his father saw him sitting on some eggs. He asked him why he was doing that. Tom did not answer. Instead, he asked his father: “Hens are able to have chicks. Why can’t I?”

Young Tom was in school for only three months. During those three months he asked a lot of questions. Most of these questions were not about his lessons. His teacher did not understand him. The boy had so many strange questions. The teacher could not answer all of them. So he wanted to send Tom away from school. He told Tom’s mother that Tom was not clever, and he asked her to take the boy out of school.

So Tom’s mother took him out of school, and taught him herself. She taught him to read and write, and she found him a very good student. He learnt very fast. Even before he was ten he became very interested in science. He grew vegetables in his garden and sold them. With the money he set up a chemical laboratory in his home in 1857.

Thomas Edison had 1,368 inventions during his lifetime.

His first patented invention was an electrical recorder in 1868.

1876—1877, invented the phonograph (留声机).

1891, invented the camera.

1897, invented the first electric lamp.
