Tesla's father didn't like that he wasted time in reading, so first he forbade it, then after finding his son reading after dark, confiscated all household candles. Tesla proceeded to collect hardened fat, construct his own candles, and read every night until daybreak with keyholes and door cracks carefully plugged.
