Alexander Graham Bell, the Scottish-born inventor, summoned his assistant Thomas A. Watson from the next room, using a device he invented.
Mr. Bell said, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.”
Watson heard it and ran to see him.
The device was called a telephone.
Today is National Landline Telephone Day in the U.S. to celebrate this historic day.
I bet most kids today haven't even seen a landline phone.
Today is also Harriet Tubman Day in the U.S.
If you’ve never heard of Harriet Tubman, she was a former slave in America who had fought tirelessly to free other slaves by assisting them in fleeing their captors.

Harriet Tubman, the American abolitionist, political activist, former slave, died at age 91.
Winston Churchill has a famous quote “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.”
I am not sure if he’d borrowed it from Harriet Tubman or great people thought alike.
