People laughed at Guglielmo Marconi all through his life because he had such big ears . But it is possible that he heard sounds through those ears which other people could not hear . And he worked all his life to send those sounds back through the air to a waiting , listening world . Young Marconi had the best teachers to give him lessons at home in Italy.He loved books , especially those on science . He had a carious mind and always wanted to prove for himself what he read .
One day , when he has sitting by an open window , it seemed that a thousand noises filled his ears . ' Where are they all coming From ?' he asked himself . ' And where well they go ? What happens to all the words people say ? Do they stay in the air round the earth , just waiting for someone to pick them up ? '
