Today, roller skating is easy and fun, young people all over the world like skating. But, before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist (存在). That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making musical instruments, he was a quick-minded person, and he always came up with many original ideas.

One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a music party which invited some other important people. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance (隆重登场) at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
