Hello, my friends.
2
Welcome to Storytime English.
3
I am so glad you are here today.
4
Take a slow breath, make yourself comfortable, and let the story begin.
5
Now, imagine for a moment, you want to read the private notebooks of one of the greatest scientists who ever lived.
6
You travel to a library in Paris.
7
You ask to see the notebooks.
8
And the librarian tells you, yes, but first you must sign a special document.
9
A document that says you understand the risk.
10
Because these notebooks, written more than 100 years ago, are still radioactive today.
11
They are stored in lead-lined boxes.
12
Lead is a heavy metal that blocks radiation.
13
To hold one of these notebooks is to touch something still alive with energy, even after a century.
14
Those notebooks belonged to Marie Curie, and this is her story.
15
The year was 1867.
16
In the city of Warsaw, in the country of Poland, a girl was born.
17
Her name was Maria Sklodowska.
18
Later, the whole world would know her as Marie Curie.
19
But when Maria was born, Poland was not a free country.
20
It had been taken over by the Russian Empire.
21
The Russian rulers controlled everything, including what children were allowed to learn.
22
Polish history could not be taught in schools.
23
The Polish language could not be used in classrooms.
24
Everything had to be taught in Russian.
25
Maria's father was a teacher.
26
He taught mathematics and physics.
27
He had once had a good position at a school in Warsaw.
28
But the Russian authorities did not trust him.
29
They removed him from his job.
30
The family became poor.
31
Despite this, her father believed in learning.
32
He kept his scientific instruments at home, glass tubes, small measuring tools, the equipment of science.
33
Young Maria would look at these objects for long stretches of time.
34
She wanted to understand how they worked.
35
She wanted to understand how everything worked.
36
She was an exceptional student.
37
She had a remarkable memory.
38
She could read by the age of four.
39
She remembered everything her teachers said.
40
At school, even though lessons were officially taught in Russian, she answered every question correctly.
41
Her teachers noticed her.
42
She stood apart.
43
But in Warsaw at that time, there was one door that was firmly closed to her.
44
Girls could not attend university.
45
The university in Warsaw did not accept women.
46
Not because they were not intelligent.
47
Not because they could not learn.
48
Simply because they were women.
49
For Maria, this was a painful wall.
50
She wanted to study science, but the door was locked.
51
So she and her friends found another way.
52
A small group of young women in Warsaw started their own secret school.
53
They called it the Floating University Floating because the location was always changing.
54
One week, classes were held in someone's kitchen.
55
The next week, in a quiet back room somewhere else.
56
They moved constantly so the Russian police would not find them.
57
It was dangerous.
58
If they were caught, they could be arrested.
59
But they kept studying anyway.
60
And Maria made a plan with her older sister, Bronya.
61
It was a pact.
62
A serious agreement between two people.
63
Here was the plan.
64
Maria would go to work as a governess to earn money.
65
A governess is a woman who lives with a family and teaches their children.
66
Maria would send her salary to Paris so that Braunya could study medicine at university there.
67
And when Braunya was finished, she would send money back, so that Maria could come to Paris and study too.
68
It was a plan that required patience, and sacrifice giving up something important for a larger goal.
69
Maria worked as a governess for five years.
70
Five years in other people's houses.
71
Far from Warsaw, far from her family, teaching other people's children while her own dreams waited.
72
She sent almost everything she earned to her sister in Paris.
73
She kept only enough to survive.
74
But she did not waste those five years.
75
At night, when the children were asleep and the house was quiet, she opened her books.
76
Mathematics, physics, chemistry.
77
She wrote long letters to Braña, asking for reading suggestions.
78
She taught herself as much as she could with no teacher and no classroom.
79
She was preparing herself for a future she could not yet see, but refused to stop believing in.
80
And then, at the age of 24, Maria finally got on a train to Paris.
81
It was 1891.
82
Paris was the center of the scientific world.
83
The Sorbonne, the great university of Paris, was one of the finest universities in Europe.
84
And unlike Warsaw, the Sorbonne accepted women students.
85
When Maria arrived, she made a quiet but meaningful decision.
86
She changed the spelling of her name from the Polish Maria to the French Marie.
87
She was not hiding who she was.
88
She was stepping into a new world.
89
She was ready.
90
But Paris was not easy.
91
She lived in a tiny room near the university.
92
There was no heating.
93
In winter, she could see her own breath inside the room.
94
Sometimes, the water in her small washing bowl froze overnight.
95
She had almost no money.
96
Some days she ate only bread and a little chocolate.
97
Sometimes she fainted from hunger in her lectures.
98
But she studied.
99
She sat in the great university halls, one of very few women in the room.
100
Some of the male students and professors found it unusual to see a woman there.
101
But Marie did not look at them.
102
She looked at the board.
103
She filled her notebooks.
104
She worked harder than almost anyone around her.
105
In 1893, she finished her degree in physics.
106
She graduated first in her class.
107
One year later, she completed a second degree in mathematics.
108
She graduated, second in her class.
109
Think about that for a moment.
110
She studied in a frozen room.
111
She ate almost nothing.
112
She worked in a language that was not her own, and she finished at the top of her class, twice.
113
But the world was not finished giving her challenges, and she was not finished answering them.
114
It was in Paris that Marie met a quiet, gentle man named Pierre Curie.
115
He was a physicist, a scientist, who studies the physical world.
116
They began to talk about science, and then they began to talk about everything.
117
In 1895, they married.
118
Marie wore a dark blue dress to the wedding, not white.
119
She could not afford a dress she would only wear once, So she chose blue, practical, dark, a dress she could also wear in the laboratory.
120
That small detail tells you a great deal about Marie Curie.
121
Together, they worked in a small, damp laboratory.
122
The building was cold in winter and too hot in summer.
123
The walls leaked.
124
The roof was low.
125
By almost any measure, it was not a proper place for great science. But they kept working.
126
They were investigating something that a scientist named Henri Becquerel had recently observed.
127
Certain natural materials seemed to produce invisible rays energy that could pass through solid objects without any obvious source.
128
Nobody fully understood this yet.
129
Marie began to study it more deeply, and she made a discovery that changed the history of science.
130
She found that these invisible rays did not come from two materials reacting with each other.
131
they came from inside the atoms of the material itself.
132
It was a quality of the matter built into its very structure.
133
She gave this quality a name.
134
She called it radioactivity.
135
The word comes from the Latin radius, which means ray.
136
Radio from ray.
137
Activity, because the material is always producing energy, always active.
138
That word was her invention, radioactivity.
139
Then, in 1898, Marie and Pierre made an announcement that amazed the scientific world.
140
They had found two new elements, materials that existed in nature but had never been identified before.
141
The first they named Polonium.
142
Polonium comes from Polonia, the Latin name for Poland.
143
At that time, Poland still did not exist as a free country.
144
It had been divided and controlled by other empires for more than a century.
145
By naming this element after her homeland, Marie was saying something clear to the world.
146
She was saying, Poland exists.
147
Poland matters.
148
We are here.
149
The second element they named radium.
150
Radium from radius, the ray.
151
This material produced a faint, beautiful blue glow in the dark.
152
In their cold laboratory at night, Marie and Pierre could see it shining on the shelves.
153
It was light that no one had seen before.
154
Light born from invisible work.
155
Marie and Pierre processed several tons of a mineral called pitch blend.
156
All of that work was to produce even a tiny amount of pure radium.
157
They did this by hand, stirring, filtering, separating in their cold room, year after year.
158
The physical work was enormous.
159
The patience was extraordinary.
160
But slowly, from tons of ordinary rock, a small and glowing thing appeared.
161
In 1903, Marie Curie received the Nobel Prize in Physics.
162
A Nobel Prize is one of the highest honors in the world.
163
It is given each year to people who done great work in science, literature, or peace.
164
She shared the prize with Pierre and with Henri Becquerel.
165
She was the first woman in history to receive a Nobel Prize.
166
But then, in 1906, something terrible happened.
167
Pierre was crossing a street in Paris on a rainy afternoon.
168
The road was wet and crowded and noisy.
169
A horse-drawn carriage moving too fast came around a corner.
170
Pierre did not see it in time.
171
He was knocked down.
172
He died that same day.
173
Marie was completely alone.
174
She had lost her partner, her closest friend, and the person who had believed in her more than anyone.
175
For a long time, the world felt empty.
176
The grief was deep and very real.
177
But she did not stop working.
178
The University of Paris offered her Pierre's teaching position, she accepted.
179
In doing so, she became the first woman to teach as a full professor at the Sorbonne.
180
On the day she walked into the lecture hall for the first time, the room was full.
181
Students, journalists, and curious visitors had come to see this moment.
182
She sat down.
183
She opened her notes.
184
She began to speak from the exact point where Pierre had left his last lecture, from the same sentence, as if he had never been gone.
185
The room was silent.
186
And then, in 1911, Marie Curie received a second Nobel Prize,
187
this time in chemistry, for the discovery of polonium and radium and the isolation of pure radium.
188
She remains, to this day, the only person in history to win Nobel Prizes in two completely different sciences.
189
But even then, the French Academy of Sciences refused to accept her as a member.
190
She was nominated, the scientists voted, and she lost by a single vote, because she was a woman.
191
The world that had once told her she did not belong was still not ready to say she did.
192
But Marie kept working.
193
During the First World War, she designed mobile x-ray units.
194
These were vehicles fitted with equipment to photograph the inside of the body.
195
Doctors used them to find broken bones and pieces of metal inside wounded soldiers.
196
She called these vehicles Petites, Curies, Little Curies.
197
She drove them to field hospitals near the front lines herself.
198
She trained nurses to operate the equipment.
199
It is estimated that more than one million soldiers were helped by her mobile units during the war.
200
In 1934, Marie Curie died.
201
She was 66 years old.
202
The cause was a plastic anemia, a condition where the bone marrow can no longer produce enough blood cells.
203
Bone marrow is the soft material inside bones that makes blood.
204
Her illness was caused by decades of exposure to radiation.
205
The very thing she had discovered, named, and spent her life studying had slowly made her ill.
206
Her notebooks are still radioactive today.
207
Her body still contains measurable radiation.
208
And the element polonium now has its permanent place on the table of elements.
209
Every chemistry student in the world studies it, the element she named after a country that was not yet free.
210
And so, my friends, the story of Marie Curie comes quietly to its end.
211
She was told from the beginning that science was not for her.
212
Not because she lacked ability.
213
Not because she lacked intelligence.
214
simply because she was a woman.
215
The doors were locked.
216
The rooms were cold.
217
The world said no in a hundred different ways.
218
She kept going anyway.
219
And somewhere in a small, damp laboratory in Paris, in the darkness of a winter night, there was a soft blue glow.
220
Radium.
221
The element she had found.
222
Light made from invisible work.
223
Light that had never existed in the world before she looked for it.
224
Now, my friend, I want to say something to you.
225
You have your own kind of darkness.
226
Maybe English still feels difficult.
227
Maybe there are moments when the words do not come easily.
228
Maybe there are days when the progress feels very slow.
229
But here you are.
230
You are in your own quiet room, doing your own quiet work, and every word you learn is a small glow.
231
Not visible to anyone else, perhaps, but real and growing.
232
Marie Curie worked for years in the cold and the dark before the world noticed what she was building.
233
You may feel that way, too, that you are working quietly and progress is hard to see.
234
But it is there.
235
Every story you listen to is light.
236
Every sentence that becomes a little clearer is light.
237
Every new word your mind holds onto that is light you are making.
238
Slowly, steadily, the way she did, and steady, as Marie Curie showed us,
239
is the most powerful thing of all.
240
Keep listening.
241
Keep learning.
242
Keep glowing.
243

245
Tell me, what part of her journey surprised you most?
246
Was it the radioactive notebooks?
247
The two Nobel Prizes?
248
Or the blue glow of radium in the dark?
249
I would love to hear from you.
250
There are many more stories waiting right here.
