The invention of the century – by nadesh zara
The doorbell had rung. Lila, who was sitting at the table eating her breakfast, rushed to the door to get her newspaper. She opened it eagerly before reading the headlines. The newspaper had a debate about whether cats were nocturnal or diurnal, but the article that caught Lila's eye was that a flying car had been invented. The page was saying how the car could turn into an airplane in 2.32 minutes! Lila was astonished. ln a few minutes, Lila, Lilah, Lilly, and Lilian were all walking to school. Lila excitedly conversed the headlines to her sisters and they began to squeal excitedly, saying how they should invent something like that too. Lilah did not want to do so because of all the equipment, and Lilly had too much homework, so the idea was abandoned. Until, a letter arrived.
This letter was enveloped in a shiny golden cover; Lilly ripped it open and read it aloud to the spellbound girls. “This competition is for you to design your own invention, and the ten winners will get their invention created by our top-notch team.” Lila screamed with excitement and happiness. She had always aspired to be an inventor, and here was her dream come true! '“Girls, we have got to do this,” Lila said, “raise your hand if you agree.” Lilly, Lila and Lilian raised their hand, but Lilah did not. “l don't want to do this, l cannot think of anything to do.” Lilly impatiently told her older sister that all they had to do was think of an invention, draw it, and describe it, “Easy peasy lemon squeezy.” Finally, they got her convinced. They also decided that Lila and Lilah should think up the invention, Lilly will draw it, and Lilian will describe it.
Lila and Lilah stayed up all night discussing ideas. Lilah pointed out that it had to be unique, not a car like everyone else would do. ln the end, they chose a pod. The pod was going to be eco-friendly, and run off a material called polythylaneisopropyl, which was recently discovered, abundant, eco-friendly, and suitable for their invention. lt was to seat four people, float and leave a blue halo trail that disappeared in minutes. The girls were proud of their invention. The next morning, Lilly was found drawing an intricate design of a flying pod, exactly as Lila had described it. By Thursday, they were ready.
Over the next few days, the girls were waiting patiently for the news, the big news. They did not tell anyone at school, for they would smirk, and call them nerds. Over the time, Lilah became more and more flustered, anxious to hear news. lt was feasible that they would be in the top ten, but the girls did not become stingy or arrogant over it. Then one day, the same letter arrived. Lilian rushed over to it and opened it slowly. The moment of truth. "WE WON!!! WE ARE IN SIXTH PLACE AND THEY'RE MAKING OUR INVENTION!!” LiIa’s dream had come true.
My amazing invention – by sofia petersen
My invention is revolutionary. It will rid our world of diseases that have haunted humanity since the beginning of time. The word ‘pandemic’ will no longer be in our vocabulary. Children all over the world will play with their friends and see their grandparents and teachers (and no, I don’t mean on Zoom!). Parents will go out to work and meet their friends.
I have made an artificial human body with similar properties to a real human body so it attracts viruses and germs. Inside this body I have placed an unbreakable Virus-Trap Cylinder. Then I have placed the body inside a rainbow-coloured bubble that never pops. My no-nonsense robot, Mock-the-Virus-2O22 and Elixir Spray complete my invention.
The bubble has a magnetic lid that snaps shut once a target has got inside. When you flip a lever, the bubble attracts all the viruses and bacteria on Earth to the artificial human body and into the Virus-Trap Cylinder forever to be locked away. When you pull another lever, the bubble with all the viruses inside it is sent blasting off to outer space. And with that, the end of all harmful germs on Earth.
Or is it? Well really there will still be loads of viruses that will form over the years and then how are we going to keep ridding the world of horrid viruses? Never fear, for we have in our team Elixir Spray and Mock-the-Virus-2O22. Mock-the-Virus-2O22 zooms around our planet spraying Elixir, which doesn’t harm humans and creates a virus-repellent environment.
Elixir Spray is made from a couple of rare items only found on the Moon Techno of the Undiscovered Planet where the legendary team of humble technological animals: king-of-the-land leopard, powerhouse wolf, protector kangaroo, guardian whale and brown-wonder deer live. Yes, the very ones that saved the Undiscovered Planet from the dreadful fire demon, Akuzi. I was surprised and thrilled to hear my technological friends would help me make the Elixir Spray as they do not at all like to interfere with events on other planets.
Now, the Elixir Spray cannot only work using ingredients from Techno, it also needs another couple of rare ingredients from Into, the twin moon of Techno and the other moon of the Undiscovered Planet, the home of the Golden Elves of the future, who teamed up with the technological animals of Techno, as I said, to defeat Akuzi. This is the recipe:
The enchanted diamond of Techno
The herb of reproduction from Techno
The light ruby of Into
The legendary hat of Into
Mix these together using my secret formula and you have the fabled Elixir Spray. And that is how we get rid of viruses and germs from our planet and live happily ever after.
