1. At sunrise, Nikola Tesla stood in his workshop and listened to a tiny clock. Its tick joined the soft hum of a machine. Tesla opened his notebook.
2. He drew wires, magnets, and turning wheels. “What if electricity could travel farther?” he wondered. The question would not sit still.
3. Tesla built a small machine. He turned one part, then another. The wires trembled, but the lamp stayed dark.
4. Tesla did not throw the machine away. He tapped his pencil and listened again. Perhaps electricity needed a different rhythm.
5. He changed the rhythm. The wheel turned. The lamp glowed. Tesla smiled, and the workshop hummed along.
6. Soon, lamps shone across a crowded fair. Electricity traveled through wires and made the evening bright. Tesla heard a bigger hum.
7. At night, Tesla filled more pages. He imagined messages without wires and power moving through the air. His pencil scratched until the lamp grew sleepy.
8. The ideas were not all ready. Some needed years, tools, and other curious minds. But Tesla kept listening.
9. Tesla imagined new ways to move electricity, and many of his ideas helped power the modern world. The future was humming.
