    Edison spent most of his time in his homemade laboratory, which was a small wooden shed at the back of his house. Inside it were several tools, scraps of metals, wires, and piles of books.

    One day, Edison read about the concept of electricity in one of his books. He was fascinated by the idea and decided to make something useful out of it.

    Finally, after countless attempts, Edison came up with the design of a light bulb. He thought if he could make it work, it would bring light into people's homes even after the sunset.

    He started working on his design. He tested different materials for the filament, the part of the bulb that would glow with heat. But none of them worked as he wanted.

    He decided to use bamboo, a strong and durable plant. He fashioned a thin strip of bamboo and used it as the filament in his light bulb design.
