Albert Einstein made his entrance into the world on March 14, 1879, in Ulm,Germany.He certainly didn't seem like an extraordinary child.He was chubby and pale with thick,black hair .He was so quiet and shy that his parents worried that there was something wrong with him.They took Albert to doctors."He doesn't talk,"his parents explained.The doctors found nothing wrong.
The story goes that Albert didn't speak a word until he was three or four years old, Then suddenly, over supper one night,he said,"The soup is too hot.Greatly relieved,his parents asked why he had never said anything before."Because,"little Albert replied,"up to now,everything has been fine."Is this a story true?There's no proof.
Most boys his age played souldier and other rough-and-tumble games .Not Albert .When Albert saw real soldiers marching with their blank faces,they frightened him.Albert preferred to say by him self and daydream.He enjoyed playing with blocks and bulding houses of playing cards----some of them were fourteen stories high.
His parents continued to worry about their son.They took him to more doctors.''Could there be something wrong with his brain?"his parents asked.Once again,doctors found nothing wrong with the boy.It was just is nature.He was quiet.He was a thinker.
Albert's father and uncle had a business that sold batteries,generators,and wire.Electricity facinated Albert.It was invisible,powerful and dangerous.Electricity was like some mysterious secret.Albert pestered his father and uncle with lots of questions.How fast is electricity?Is there a way to see it?What's it made of?
