A tall young professor... was desperately busy in a noisy machine-shop in Boston. He was completely wrapped up in the making of a nondescript machine, sort of a crude harmonica with a clock spring reed, magnet, and a wire. It was unlike any other thing that had ever been made in any country. The young professor had been working on it for 3 years and on one hot afternoon in June 1875, he heard an almost inaudible sound come from the machine. He eyes glazed in delight and he sprang into passion and eagerness.

No one should go through life wasting the Earth's resources, and one important resource is fresh water. Fresh water comes into our homes, and we use it to drink, cook, wash, and water plants. Everyone should be careful to not waste water. First, take shorter showers to keep less water from pouring down the drain. Also, wash only full loads of laundry and dishes. Washing machines and dishwashers use many gallons of water even when washing a small load. In addition, be careful when watering your lawn. Do not forget to turn off the sprinklers or leave them on too long. If everyone would follow these suggestions, we could save more water and be sure we have plenty of water for everyone.

Chiba had never wanted anything more than to go back home. His son, now three, was beginning to ask questions. "Idua, there is no place like Abuja," Chiba said. He stroked his boy's hair, as he added, "I'm telling you!"

"We'll see. I haven't been home in years—not since I moved to Atlanta and met your mother," Chiba said, unable to contain his nostalgia and excitement.
The father and son were now outside the airport and roaming the city in a cab. Chiba looked outside the window trying to find the traces of his old city. The sky was punctuated by bridges, flyovers, and skyscrapers. As he passed the city gate, he saw more fast-food chains and tall office buildings than trees.
"This looks like Atlanta!" Idua made his disappointment clear. And he asked his father the same question again and again, "Papa, where's the yellow house, and the big river, and the million trees?"

Anna and her husband had two small children, and Reverend Burwell's salary was small. Anna decided to use her lifelong love of education to help her family and other young women. As a supplement to her husband's income, Anna began teaching the daughter of James Webb, the owner of the town's general store. Two years later, Anna opened one of the first all-female academies in North Carolina, the Burwell Female School.
