Once upon a time, there was a scientist named Professor Alkaline who was always looking for distractions from his work. One day, he was working on inventing a new light bulb that would be powered by Morse code.
He realized that the filament in his prototype was made of a special material that glowed in fluorescent colors when it received messages in Morse code.
Excited by his discovery, Professor Alkaline quickly applied for a patent and started a for-profit company to sell his invention.
Soon, people all over the world were using Professor Alkaline's telegraph light bulbs to send secret messages to each other. They would even use it to send secret love notes!
But one day, a little girl figured out how to take a photograph of the messages being sent through the light bulb. Professor Alkaline was shocked to find out that his invention wasn't as secret as he thought it was!
From that day on, the inventor made sure to include a warning label on his telegraph light bulbs, reminding people to be careful what they said in Morse code.
The end.
