| A Lucky Thing About sixty years ago, a child named Borty was playing one day with a group of naughty boys. When they were playing happily, an incident happened. An elder child picked up Borty and threw him into the sky. When Borty fell down, the big child did not catch him but rather let him fall on the ground. As a result, Borty's leg broke. He had to wear heavy plaster while lying in bed for several months. The worst thing was that his leg bone did not heal. It was a terrible thing to a little child. Little Borty screamed in pain and fear. This was a tragedy, but now Borty had a new idea that he was now one of the most famous writers in the world. Maybe you are not familiar with the name of Borty, But when I mention the name Wells, you must know it. Maybe you have read some books of his. He wrote more than 75 books. Wells thought that breaking his leg was a lucky thing for him. It made him have to stay home for one year. In the year he read many books, because he had nothing to do except that. It made him very interested in literature. He became enlightened by these books. So his staying home was a turning point for him. Later he became the writer in the world whose income was highest. |
