woman. At an early age , he became interested in " the talking leaf ",
an expression tht he used to refer to the white man's written records.

period, he was illiterate,but his decision to change the situation led
to the invention of an 86-character alphabet (字母表) based on the sound
that he heard.
His family and friends thought him mad, but while he was getting back
to a former state of health after a hunting accident, he set out to
invent a form of communication for his own people as well as for other

written language that would help thousands of Indians to read and write.

can avoid traffic jams by speeding ahead while the cars wait. A motorcycle is cheaper to run --- you need
less gas per mile for a motorcycle than for most cars.
