There are many useful inventions in the world. Do you want to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has thought up the “Nubrella”, which means “new”+ “umbrella”. It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world.

One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don’t hold it like a usual umbrella, you can wear it. The shoulder straps(肩带) of the Nubrella allow people to be hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the Nubrella is safer than traditional ones and will never be inverted(颠倒) in the wind.

The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr. Kaufman was standing in his shop amd began to look at people’s umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew pictures.

As we know, Mozart is a great composer. Here’s a story about Mozart when he was a little boy.

Mozart’s father used to give his daughter music lessons on the piano. And little Mozart watched and listened to every note while his big sister was playing the piano. One day, when his sister’s lesson was over, he asked his father, “May I have a lesson, papa?” “You’re too little!” said his father. When his father and sister left, little Mozart went up to the piano and press the keys. The music sounded so beautiful that his father

came back to see him. Little Mozart was playing well without any help. His father decided to give him music lessons from then on. Little Mozart learned very quickly and soon he played as well as his big sister. Then he started to write music by himself.
