　　Edison worked as a telegraph operator(电报员)when he was young. He worked at night; during the day he read books and made experiments. The schedule made him so tired that he slept at night sometimes, which made other operators angry because when they sent a message, Edison couldn't answer in time. They soon found a way to keep him awake by making him telegraph the Letter A every hour. In order to do this, Edison had to stay awake.
　　Edison did not like this at all; he was still tired. So he invented a new machine which sent the letter A every hour. It never, never failed. Machines are not like people who forget. So other operators received the letter every hour.
　　They could not believe that Edison was such a wonderful man. One night they went quietly to his room and looked in. He was sleeping deeply, and his new machine was sending the letter A! Edison continued his experiments in New York, but he had not got much money. He invented another machine. This one printed the messages which the telegraph received. There was by chance a rich man there who was studying the electric telegraph. As soon as he saw the new machine he bought it for about 8,000 dollars.
　　With this money Edison was able to get some other scientists to help him. He invented a lot of different things. One of these was a talking machine. We call it a record - player. Our modern record - player is better than the old one, of course; but Edison's machine was the first of its kind in the world.
