The light bulb

A former teacher

A young inventor

The first telegraph

He hated school.

She wanted him to get a job.

He was sick with scarlet fever.

She wanted to teach him at home.

At home, he was shy and quiet.

At home, he asked many questions.

At home, he spent his time daydreaming

At home, he had many ideas for experiments

In his house

At his school

In New Jersey

At a railroad office

He was often daydreaming.

He spent all day at the library.

He studied the great inventors.

He got a job selling newspapers.
