7 A Blast from the Past

CHAPTER 7 A BLAST FROM THE PAST In the library, Mrs. Beamster tells us about great scientists from the past. A guy named Galleyoyo said the earth was not the center of the universe. He made a lot of self-centered people mad.

When Christopher Columbus said the earth was round, a lot of squares gave him a hard time. Another guy named Listermint, made people angry when he told them to wash their hands to kill germs. I think that he was in Germany. And a scientist named Pasture washed milk to get rid of Parisites. I think that he was from Paris. HOLD UP YOUR ARMS PLEASE.

Another scientist named Newton was hit by a fig and invented the Fig Newton. Ben Frankly was shocked when every- one told him to go fly a kite. And Alexander Graham Bell invented graham crackers for your belly. WOW!

Mrs. Beamster says that every- thing we have today came from someone's imagination. And all the things we'll have tomorrow will come from ours. Boy, am I pumped! CARS WITHOUT WHEELS. YOUR VERY OWN WALKING AIR CONDITIONER. HI, MOM. A TOOTH PHONE YOU ALWAYS HAVE IN YOUR MOUTH. EXACT SIZE. ACHOO! A PILL TO CURE THE COMMON COLD.
