Wind Boy Comprehension Worksheet
The Wind Boy
In a small village in Malawi, William liked to take things apart and learn how they worked. Some evenings, his family had no electric lights, so he read whenever daylight allowed. At the library, he found a book showing how wind could turn the blades of a machine and help make electricity. William began collecting useful cast-offs from bicycles, old plastic piping, and metal scraps. Neighbors wondered what he was building. “A machine that can use the wind,” he explained. His first model wobbled and stopped. William studied it, tightened a loose connection, and tried again. One breezy afternoon, the blades spun. A small light flickered on in his family’s home. William grinned, and his family gathered around the glow. The machine was not perfect, but it showed what patience, reading, and careful experiments could do. William decided to keep improving it—and to share what he learned with other children.
