The story started in Denmark. Ole Christiansen was a carpenter     2     was struggling with his small business. His wife died     3    (short) after his fourth son was born. He had to work hard to support his family alone. He started making wood toys,but they didn't sell well. He decided his toys needed a name,and he chose     4     name"Lego".

Unfortunately, several years later, his workshop     5     (burn) to the ground. Soon,he started to make a few plastic toys. He got the idea to create a “system" of toys that would build up kids'     6     (imagine) and creativity. He decided to stop     7     (make) wood toys and focus only on the connected plastic toys.
