When I was little,my mother began selling food at Camden Market. She couldn't leave me at home on my own,so I had to go to the market with her.

One day,my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. 38 They were sold out in twenty minutes!The next week,my mum gave me some money to buy wax (蜡) to make more candles. Again,they sold out really quickly.

Six months later,we decided to stop doing the food. 39 Luckily,some of my school friends started to help us. I paid them one pound for every eandle,and we used to sell them for four or five times that.

Mother Nature knows best. But she's not always generous with her secrets. Sometimes she only tells them to the most careful observers.

George de Mestral was a Swiss engineer who enjoyed walking with his dog in the woods. One day,after a walk,he looked down and saw some seeds (种子) stuck to his trousers. He was a little -bit angry because the seeds were hard to remove. He pulled a few of the seeds off of his trousers and examined them under a microscope（显微镜） What he saw amazed him: tiny hooks (钩子) on the ends of the seeds. De Mestral saw a new way to stick things together and keep them attached.

He was inspired to turn his accidental discovery into a useful product. He borrowed money from a bank,gave up his job,and gave all of his time and energy to the task. At first,people refused to take him,and the idea,seriously. He took his idea to a weaving center,where he did manage to get the help of one weaver,who made two products out of cotton that worked. However, the cotton wore out quickly. Finally,by using nylon instead of cotton,he made his invention work. It took ten years to develop it. He called it Velcro.

Today,Velcro is used everywhere: in shoes,purses,and children's toys. We can thank de Mestral for discovering and developing a wonderful way to attach things. But the real thanks should go to nature for making the secret known.
