About the year 1900, a small dark-haired boy named Charles Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of theatres. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn’t get work and therefore wandered about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.

 But twenty years later this same Chaplin became the greatest, best-known, and best-loved comedian in the world. Nearly all visitors to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplin’s films. People everywhere had sat and laughed at them until tears ran down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are almost silent. It isn’t what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend on words or languages. It depends on little actions that mean the same thing to people all over the dances and plays of many countries. It’s a kind of world language.

 Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland in 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
