听材料，回答问题。 A big dog celebrates a big birthday this year. Clifford, the big red dog, first appeared 50 years ago, along with Emily Elizabeth, the little girl who loves him. Today, we have Norman Bridwell to talk with NPR's reporter on his dog's 50th birthday. So, Norman, tell us how it all started. Well, it was 1962 and I was a struggling, not very successful artist in New York. My wife suggested that I try my hand at painting for children's books. So I did 10 paintings and took them to publishers. I was turned down everywhere, except at one publisher, where a young woman told me I wasn't very good, so if I wanted to paint for a book, I'd need to write one on my own. So you did? Um, the woman pointed to a painting I'd done of a little girl with a big red dog, and she said, Maybe that's a story. And I went home, and over that weekend, I wrote the story Clifford, the big red dog, and was shocked when it was accepted for publication, because I'd never written anything before. I see. How wonderful. Yes, it was. My wife was also in shock when she did realize it wasn't a dream. But it was just luck. But that luck turned into 90 Clifford books that have sold 126 million copies in 13 languages. A big dog celebrates a big birthday this year.
