Part-1

  • Para Play

Everything was ready. // I was very tired / because I worked
so hard / to build the tower. //
People in my village / heard the
news / and were coming to look at it. //
Some of these people / had
laughed at me for months. //
They thought I was strange / when I
told them / I was trying to <span class='nw'>generate</span> electricity from wind. //
“Here
it goes,” / I thought. //

  • Para Play

I was born and brought up in <span class='nw'>Malawi</span>, / a small country
in Africa. //
In December 2000, / a terrible <span class='nw'>famine</span> broke out / in
the country. //
First, / we had to stop having breakfast / to save
what we had. //
Then, / we soon had nothing to eat, / and my school
friends and many others died. //
Children had to stop going to
school. //

  • Para Play

Even when the famine was over, / I still had to stay home / to
work in the fields / because my father had not yet made enough
money / to send me back to school. //
I could not <span class='nw'>blame</span> him. //

  • Para Play

I said to myself, / “If we had a good watering system, / we
could stay away from those problems / in the future.” //
I wanted
to change our life, / which was determined / by rain and the price
of seed. //
I wanted to build a better future. //

Part-2

  • Para Play

I began to study on my own / in the library / to do
something about our problems. //
My best friend <span class='nw'>Gilbert</span> / would
come help me after school. //
One day, / I came across a book /
titled <i>Using</i>  <i>Energy</i>. //
If I hadn’t read that book then, / my life
would have stayed the same. //
It showed / how to <span class='nw'>convert</span> natural
energy to another form / such as electricity. //
Suddenly, / an idea
came to me. //

  • Para Play

My idea was / to build a kind of <span class='nw'>windmill</span> / by myself. // I
kept thinking, / “If I had a windmill, / I could stay up and read
at night.” //
A windmill could also run a <span class='nw'>pump</span> / for water. // My
family could grow different <span class='nw'>vegetables</span>, / both to eat and to sell /
in the market. //
No more dark house / or hungry days! //

  • Para Play

According to the book, / I needed <span class='nw'>blades</span>, / a <span class='nw'>dynamo</span>, / and
many other things. //
For the blades, / I used old <span class='nw'>pipes</span> / taken from
a <span class='nw'>bathhouse</span> / behind my aunt’s house. //
For the rest of the parts /
I went to <span class='nw'>search</span> a <span class='nw'>junkyard</span> / every day in the early morning. //
There, / I was able to find a fan / in an old car. // I also picked up
such things / as old water pumps and springs / for other parts. //
As I walked around in the junkyard, / the students across the
street / in the school ground / saw me and would call out, / “Look, /
it’s <span class='nw'>William</span>. / He’s playing in the junkyard / again!” //

Part-3

  • Para Play

One day, / when Gilbert and I were walking home
together, / he asked, / “How’s your windmill going?” //
“Well, / I’ve got most of the parts ready, / but I don’t know /
where I can get a dynamo. / If I had a dynamo now, / I would be
able to start building my windmill,” / I answered. //

  • Para Play

Just then, / we came across a man / pushing his bicycle, /
which had a light. //
I said, / “Look, / Gilbert! / There’s a dynamo!” //
But I knew / I had no money. // Then Gilbert went up to the man /
and asked / if he could buy the dynamo / on his bicycle. //
Gilbert’s
father had given away all their food / during the famine. //
I
was pretty sure / they were also short of money. //
Still, / Gilbert
reached into his <span class='nw'>pocket</span>, / pulled out the money / and handed it
to the man. //
I will always remember that moment / and <span class='nw'>cherish</span>
his gift of friendship. //
I ran home / and placed the dynamo / next
to the other materials. //
It was like <span class='nw'>adding</span> the last piece / to the
great <span class='nw'>puzzle</span> in my life. //
