  • Hi, Linda. What are you reading?

  • I’m reading a book about Thomas Edison.

  • His story is very interesting.

  • Thomas Edison?

  • I read about him when I was in elementary school.

  • Because of him, we have the light bulb.

  • That’s true.

  • But he failed many times before he became a great inventor.

  • He never gave up or stopped his tests.

  • You're right.

  • One time, he worked with a team.

  • After they failed about 10,000 times, he cheered up the team.

  • He said, “At least we learned one thing:

  • These 10,000 ways didn’t work!”

  • Wow! I really admire him.

  • Can I borrow the book after you finish it?

  • sure
