Once upon a time, there was a flamboyant inventor named Professor Pungent. He lived in a prosperous town where everyone loved his inventions, but he had one problem. His latest creation, a prototype of a mobility machine, had a strange chemical reaction that made it emit a very pungent odor. The townspeople were no longer fond of the inventor and called him a nuisance.
Determined to fix his creation, he went back to his lab and worked day and night on its production. Finally, after many trials and errors, he succeeded in removing the foul smell. The townspeople were overjoyed and celebrated the inventor's success. From then on, Professor Pungent became known as the inventor of the most advanced mobility machine with no pungent odor. The End.

Reflections

1. What was the problem with the inventor's prototype?
2. How did the townspeople feel about the inventor before and after he fixed the prototype?
3. What does the word "flamboyant" mean?
4. Can you think of another invention that also had a chemical reaction?
5. Why do you think the inventor worked very hard to remove the pungent odor from his prototype?
