Early childhood   Thomas Alva Edison the great scientist was born on February 11^th 1847 in Milan, Ohio. He was the 7^th child of Samuel and Nancy Edison and was the smallest child of the family. Many people tell stories of him and one real one is when he was 4 years old there family had a farm and in the farm lived a mother goose and was hatching an egg, Thomas loved asking questions and this time his question was if animals can sit on eggs and make them hatch could a human also make an egg hatch and one night when his parents and sister came home they did not see Edison anywhere in the house, when they went to the farm they saw young Thomas trying to hatch an egg by sitting on top of them but guess what happened Thomas’s pants got dirty because he broke the eggs and the nest got watery and then the grass sticked to Edison, and that was when he learned that only the mother goose could hatch an egg for it”s light weight.As a teenager he accepted a job selling news paper and candy. If we forward to about when he invented the phonograph many people in Menlo Park had said"Thomas who could invent such things" some said he will fail but Thomas after all did not care about any thing and just had a success. If you  forward to the inventing of the light bulb there is much more politics in it. People stole the idea but they did not invent the electric plant and Thomas did and he succeeded on the project.

But on October 18th  the great inventor died.
