     Many people invented toys. Most of them were kids. Kids are better than adults at inventing toys. They
can use everything to make toys.
     But sometimes adults can make the old ones more popular. For example, People first played yo-yos in
ancient (古代的) Greece. About two hundred years ago they became very popular with children, first in
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
make them in some colors and sell them to schools. Kids enjoyed using them very much.

The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face.
