Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland in 1847, but when he was a young man of twenty-three he moved with his parents to Canada. Before the year was over, young Graham had left his family and gone to Boston. Though Bell was a dreamer, he was also a practical thinker and a man of action. In Boston, where he worked by day as a teacher of the deaf, he worked far into the night experimenting with the electrical transmission of the sound. This led to the invention of the telephone.

He had a workshop in his house in America and did many experiments there. One day, he was doing an experiment in his workshop. He was careless and spilt some burning liquid onto his clothes. Talking into his telephone, Bell said, ‘Mr. Watson, I want you to come over here immediately, please.’ His assistant, Watson, was in another room far away from the workshop.
