The next day Elizabeth visited an old family friend who had been practicing medicine for many years. When she told him of her intentions, Dr. Melton’s eyebrows nearly took leave of his head, but he quickly settled himself and said, “Well, that is a brilliant idea, Miss Blackwell, but clearly it is an impossible one.”

Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.
The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity. Attach a wire to the dynamo and you could power anything, especially a bulb.

With a windmill, I could stay awake at night reading instead of going to bed at seven with the rest of Malawi.

It wasn’t torture, exactly, but it wasn’t very comfortable, either.
“Look at your legs hanging there,” Goemon said.
“It is a strange way to sit!” Manjiro agreed.
“If you were a real samurai, you would commit seppuku now, rather than wait to be humiliated by the barbarians,” Goemon said.

read this summary of a myth.
An evil warrior wants to take over a village, and he has a plan to make the villagers abandon their homes so that his army can take it without a struggle. He passes through the village disguised as a wealthy traveler, and he tells the villagers that he has found gold in the mountains a few miles away. He persuades them all to go to the mountains to look for gold. When all the villagers leave, the evil warrior brings his army to the village and they occupy all the homes – except for one.
One girl suspects that the wealthy traveler is lying to the villagers. She decides not to leave her home to look for gold, because she does not believe there is any gold, and even if there is, protecting her home is more important to her. She also convinces her mother and brother to stay with her. When the invaders come to take over the village, the girl, who has beyond-human strength, sends her brother to warn the other villagers and to bring help while she and her mother defend their home. The girl’s brother returns with an army that defeats the evil warrior’s army and takes back the village.
