The following is a 1,000-word short story about a famous person:
In ancient Greece, there was a great mathematician and philosopher named Thales. Thales was born into a noble family, but his family was broken up for political reasons, which made him a wanderer. Thales liked to travel. He had been to many places and had come into contact with all kinds of people and things.
In a certain place, Thales met a wise man who told him that everything in the world was made of water. Thales was very surprised when he heard this. He realized that water was a very special substance that could help humans solve many problems. So Thales began to study the properties and uses of water. He spent a lot of time and energy and finally came up with a world-shocking theory: Water could be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, the two elements that could form the elements needed for all life.
This theory was called Thales 'theory, and it became the foundation of modern science. Thales was not only a great mathematician and philosopher, he was also a great scientist. His contributions had brought mankind into a new era of scientific revolution. Thales 'theory had also deeply influenced human thought and culture. His thoughts had influenced the entire western world and had become an important legacy of human civilization.
Thales 'story tells us that no matter where you come from, you can create a better future through your own efforts and creativity.
