Once upon a time, there was a mechanical engineer named Max who was fascinated by speed. He dreamt of designing the fastest machine ever built. One day, he saw a peregrine falcon diving at the speed of sound and got an idea. He decided to design a machine that could fly like the falcon.
After several months of hard work, Max finally finished his design. He called it the "Litho-Dragster." The Litho-Dragster was a combination of a lithograph and a dragster. It was capable of reaching speeds never seen before.
Max took the Litho-Dragster for its first test flight, and it was a success. The machine flew faster than the speed of sound, and Max was amazed at how well it performed. Children all around the world were fascinated by the Litho-Dragster and wanted to learn more about it.
And that's how Max became known as the designer of the fastest machine in the world.
The end.

Reflections

1. What inspired Max to design the Litho-Dragster?
2. What is the speed of sound?
3. What is a peregrine falcon and what does it have to do with the story?
   
4. How fast can the Litho-Dragster fly?
5. Why was Max amazed by the Litho-Dragster's performance?
