[02:26.70]INVENTIONS MAKE OUR WORLD SMALLER by Judy Veramendi
[02:39.55]1.Think about your favorite things.
[02:45.92]Did you never wonder where they were discovered or invented?
[02:51.58]This is the story of four important inventions.
[02:57.80]Thanks to the Chinese,we can enjoy fireworks!
[03:03.06]How they were invented is a mystery.
[03:07.13]We think that the Chinese made fireworks
[03:12.46]to protect themselves from enemies.
[03:16.49]But,It all happened a long,long time ago.
[03:21.85]Think of fireworks.Imagine a rainbow of colors dancing in the sky.
[03:31.21]Imagine the huge BOOM!
[03:35.75]Billions all over the world enjoy this wonderful Chinese invention.
[03:44.10]2.A very important invention for all of us was the calendar.
[03:52.06]Calendars were invented in a number of countries:
[03:57.31]China,Mexico,France,and India.
[04:03.14]But the first calendar wiht 365 days was invented in Egypt.
[04:11.10]The Egyptian calendar had twelve months.
[04:17.33]Every month had thirty days.
[04:21.90]The five days lelf at the end of the year were used for celebrations.
[04:28.85]Can you imagine where we might be without the calendar?
[04:34.21]3.Chocolate!We know where it came from.
[04:41.66]For years and years the Aztecs
[04:46.92]used the beans of a tree to make chocolate
[04:51.67]Then in the 1500s,the Aztecs Emperor Montezuma presented
[04:58.62]presented a delicious chocolate drink to explorers
[05:04.06]who had come Mexico from Spain.They tookit back to Spain.
[05:10.72]It was one of the first exports from the New World to the Old World.
[05:16.87]From that time on,chocolate was very popular in Spain.
[05:23.03]Today the world loves chocolate milk,ice cream,and candy.
[05:30.66]4.Did you ever fly in an airplane?
[05:36.67]Did you wonder how it came to be?
[05:40.70]For a long time,inventors
[05:45.06]in a number of countries tried to solve the riddle of flight.
[05:50.82]But the first inventors of a working airplane
[05:55.57]were the Wright brothers of the United States.
[06:00.22]They first experimented with kites.After that,
[06:05.87]they tried different models of airplanes.
[06:10.22]Then,on December 17,1903,they flew an airplane for twelve seconds!
[06:19.08]The airplane is an invention that really made the world smaller.
[06:25.52]And with future inventions,
[06:29.16]it's true that the world will continue to get smaller and more exciting.
