BR06: The story of Toilets, Telephones & other useful inventions

This book has five chapters: The story of toilets, Telephones, Frozen food, Soccer nets and Safety razors.
Long ago, people didn't even have houses, so building a toilet was the last thing on their minds. They roamed the forests, hunting animals... and squatting behind a tree. Then they learned to farm the land and made themselves homes to live in. Some built a toilet in the yard, but it was only a hole in the ground. When the hole filled up, they simply covered it with mud and dug another. This worked fine... until they ran out of space. The ancient Romans had a much better idea-public toilets. They placedd a long, stone slab with hoes over a deep trench. Then they decorated the toilet room with marble and mosaics. Going to the toilet became a great way to meet people. Romans sat in a row, chatting about politics and plays. Below them, water flowed through the trench and washed everything away. At Roman banquets, rich guests didn't even have to leave the room. They simply asked a slave to bring in a silver pot and filled it there and then. In later times, people were more shy about these things. Lrds and ladies preferred to go alone, using fancy, cushioned toilet boxes, often hidden behind a curtain. These were a lot more comfortable - though someone then had to empty them.
I use many useful inventinons. I noticed that after reading this book. Thank to any inventers, I can lead everyday. I can finish early many works with many useful inventions. I like the best telephones all of useful inventions. So when I feel lonely, I can talk with my friends and my family, and I become cheerful. My favorite chapter is the Telephones. I will introduce by myself. Alexander Graham Bell was a boy. He has a mission.While his father told deaf people how to talk. His mother was deaf, but he is young boy who found a way to make her hear. When he talks with his mother, he write words with his fingers on her forehead, and she understand his words. He become a adult, and he got a job which is teaching how to speak for deaf people. He like to experiment with sound in his spare time. Bell thought about telegraph in a long time. One day, he come up an idea. Bell and Thomas Watoson invented a mouthpiece and an earpiece.
I thought that frozen food? Is that a useful invention? Why an central carcter is in ice palace? Was he cold, and he came up an idea which is hooded swet shirt? But I mistaked that. A man is called Clarence Birdseye who was trading fur in northern Canada. He can't believe someone to live in an ice place. It was a unique story, please read this book.
