Nikola Tesla and the Electric River
Hello! My name is Nikola. When I was a little boy, I didn't play with regular toys. I loved watching the world around me. I especially loved thunderstorms! The lightning would flash across the sky like a giant spark, and I would wonder, 'What is that amazing power?'. I had a fluffy black cat named Macak, and one day, as I petted him, tiny sparks jumped from his fur to my fingers! That's when I started thinking that electricity was like a kind of magic hiding all around us.
As I grew up, my head was always buzzing with ideas, just like a busy bee. I imagined a new kind of electricity, one that could flow like a river for miles and miles to power lights and machines in faraway homes. I called it alternating current. I moved to a big country called America with my big dreams in my suitcase. I wanted to share my ideas so that everyone could have light in their homes, making the world brighter and less scary at night.
It wasn't easy, but I never gave up on my dream. Soon, my ideas helped create giant power stations, and my special electric river lit up whole cities! It was like a dream come true. My inventions helped create radios, remote controls, and so many things we use today. Always remember to be curious, just like I was. Your wonderful ideas can change the world and make it a brighter place for everyone.
