Today, roller skating

is popular throughout the world.
People
roller skate outside on paths and roads, and
inside in rinks. But a long time ago, it
wasn t easy at all. Before 1750, the
idea of skating didn t exist. That changed because
of a
man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's
work was making musical instruments. In his spare
time he liked to play the violin.
Joseph Merlin was a man full of ideas and dreams.
People called him a dreamer. One day
Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy

He had an idea. He thought he would get
a lot of attention if he could skate into the
room.
Merlin tried different ways to
make himself fool.
①

he decided to put two
wheels under each
shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin
was very proud of his
invention and
dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while
playing the violin.
②
On the night of the party Merlin rolled
into the room playing his violin. Everyone
was surprised to see him. There was
just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his
roller skates. He rolled on and on.
Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was
hanging
on the wall. Down fell the
mirror, breaking into
pieces.
③
Nobody forgot
Merlin s grand
entrance for a long
time!
