a young girl. The girl said she was lost in the jungle. She asked for their permission to stay at their

Question 23
Read the text below and answer the questions that follow.

Chester Greenwood was a 15-year-old boy who lived in Maine, United States. One winter day in
1873, he was trying out his new ice skates that he received for his birthday. As he was having fun, his
ears began to hurt from the cold. He tried to cover his ears with his scarf but it did not help.
Then, Greenwood had an idea. He made a pair of earmuffs by using a wire and beaver skin
pads. First, he moulded the wire to form a frame. After that, he asked his grandmother to sew beaver
skin pads onto the frame. The earmuffs were able to keep his ears warm and Greenwood was over the
moon that he had solved the problem. That was how the world’s first earmuffs were created. At first,
the boys in his neighbourhood made fun of his earmuffs. Then, they all started to ask for one of their
own.
Over the years, Greenwood went on to invent more things and became a celebrated inventor.
In 1977, the Maine State Legislature officially declared 21 December, the first day of winter, as
Chester Greenwood Day.
