19．Jules Verne lived in a small French town named Nantes in his childhood．Verne ran away once as a child and came upon a small boy who was crying．The boy said he had to leave his family to go on a ship，but he didn't want to．So Verne took his place on the ship．He thought he was going to explore the world，but his father caught up with the ship before it got very far and took Jules home and punished him．Verne said that after that he would only travel in his imagination，and he did．
Verne wanted to write plays．So as a young man he went to Paris and hung out at local theaters and became friends with all the play-writers there．That's how he met Alexander Dumas．Dumas wrote adventure stories that interested Verne very much．Verne decided to write one of his own，an adventure about the ever so popular hot air balloon trips of that time．
Success was not easy for him，though．He didn't know much about science and he had a wife and two children to take care of．So he would wake up early each morning and do work and research before he went to work to support his family．Once he felt he knew enough about sience he began to write his story in the morning．Luckily，his book was finally published by a person named Hetzel．
Jules Verne was the first to write a believable story about a person going to the moon．Verne used his knowledge of science to write a book about it．Thanks to his book，people started thinking that going to the moon was more realistic．After Jules Verne died in 1905，other authors started writing about space．Children would read Verne's book and dream of growing up to build rockets．Because of Verne's book，the dream of going to the moon was reached．
