Holly: I hope all of you had fun today. I really want to thank our visitors for helping us with
History Mystery Day – Tim, Steven Spielberg, J. K., Oprah and Stephen Hawking.
Stephen H: Kids, today we solved five different mysteries from history. Now, I have one
more mystery for you. Can anyone tell me how these history mysteries are the same?
Carla: I think I know Mr. Hawkings...they are all firsts! First cartoon movie, first walk on the
moon...
Holly: That’s right, Carla. On each day someone made or did something special, for the very
first time.
Stephen: ...And the things that these people did changed history!
Zack: Wait a minute...where’s Albert? He was here a minute ago.
Everyone (as Albert comes over with a transparent computer tablet): Wow!!!
Holly: Albert, what IS that? It is not from our library. Where did you get it?
Albert: I don’t know. It just...it just fell into my hands! It looks like a kind of a computer, but
it has pages, like a book. And when I touch the screen I can turn the pages!
Stephen: Wait a minute...it says, “The new book by Stephen Hawking and Lucy Hawking”.
Holly: Stephen, it IS a book. It is called “George and the Big Bang”. It says here that you
wrote it with your daughter Lucy...in the year 2011!
Everyone: What? But we are in 1976!
Stephen: Hmm. Another mystery! Where did this computer come from?
