People called him a dreamer. 　　One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room. 　　Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe.
