Inventors Fair Ruby

‘Roll up, Roll up, the inventors fair is here'.

‘Come see the miraculous, the incredible, the fan-tab-u-lous' announced the orator from his tiny wooden podium. He then leans forward and whispers to you ‘I know that fantabulous is not a word, but this is an inventors fair and if you can't invent a few words here and there, then what's the point, ay!' His moustache twitches in excitement which seems to accentuate the shiny baldness of his head.

‘Buy your tickets here' he announces to the crowd gesticulating in a strange flourish of twisting wrists towards the booth and turnstile.

‘Now good people, ladies and gentlemen, have you been acquainted with the astounding Mr Arac, who will be demonstrating his incredible Home Spider Dentistry Kit or what about Dr Faustus and his amazing security device, The Magic Void'. He pauses for effect before he continues ‘it's a new type of safe which hides your valuables inside a surprising quirk of space-time itself.' Go see him, he's at stall number 253, but then he mutters to you under his breath ‘I suggest you don't let him Magic Void your pet, last one came back a little squishy and the boys keeper was quite disgruntled.'

Suddenly you have a ticket and are through the barrier, and there before you is stall - upon stall - upon stall, this is the inventors fair. Tents and turrets are pitched everywhere, flags and banners billow as smartly suited visitors amble between the stalls. Noises fizz from displays where plumes of pink and purple smoke waft from curious contraptions to the left, right and just about everywhere.

A voting paper is then thrust into your hand and you notice it has six spaces for nominations, this is what you need to fill in and post before you exit.

You glance back and see the sun glint off the Orators shiny head as he disappears back through the gates. His wrists spin above his glistening head as he funnels and encourages more paying visitors through the turnstiles.

Now to the fair.

As you approach the stall you see people eating delicious food and you hear people shouting your name.and it makes you fell nervous but the bad

As you approach the stall, you can see a stand full of watches and a banner saying "with these you can give food to the homeless. Only for £50.00." You can smell all types of foods. You can hear people eating away. You can taste the food in the air. You can also hear the thump of the falling food hitting the ground. Furthermore you can hear the clicking of keys from the holographic keyboards.

Herr Tick, who was wearing a suit, shows us how it works. First he takes off the glass top and magically the keyboard pops up and as this happens 5 tick tocks happen. But this is a holographic keyboard that you can type on. Then he types in his food of choice and his size of preference. Then his food of option falls from the roof. It lands next to him. He started to pile up the food to show it would never land on him. He also showed that it would land on other people. I could hear the thump, I could see the yummy food, I could feel the draft from the falling food and I could smell the delicious food.

Then a piece of yummyness didn't come out. Herr Tick explained that there is a limit to the size. You can only do 15 pieces of your food of selection until you have to refill the batteries. The batteries used are 4 AA batteries. The customers were devastated that they didn't get their giant pizza for themselves for a change. Then the watch clicked and then it exploded! Which proves that not everything is a good invention. In my pocket I had the money I was going to use to buy the Sky food 8041.

As you approach the stall, you see all the setting of the robot butler.It is in a big shop it is full of rows.It is open 24 7 you don't have to keeping buying batteries all the time.It has alimited electricity so it works all day and all night.Also it is fun to play with.You will play with it all the time trust me it is inderstrucible.


How the machine works it takes allot of material to use we have to do all the settings all right. It takes half a day to make one.So takes care of robot butler.We made this fore you.You can buy how many you whant.We don't mind if you buy much as.

As you approach the stall everything was calm and you can see a massive sign with the name taste-O-matic 3000.while the machines were working you could hear loads of people chatting .The thing itself is a metal box with a big red button on one side.There is a keyboard on the other side.On the front is a gap that you put the food in.

The machine works by putting the food into the front of it.Next you will press the big red shiny button.Now what you will see and hear is the box shaking and you will hear lots of thuds and bangs.Then there is a loud ping and the box stops.After that Mr crazy haired scientist went to the Side of the box and tipped in pizza.All of a sudden there was a big flash then the peas were smoking.suprisingly he asked for a volunteer to try the peas nobody said a word but they shouted "it tastes like pizza"!

Then he tried putting broccoli in it because wanted to show everyone that it works with every food.So he put the dreadful broccoli in it and pressed the button.Like the peas the machine started to shake and thud but this time it was different.It was slow but it started to smoke up and then caught fire!Will the taste-O-matic 3000 blow up?

As you approach the stall, you see a sign saying Mr. Fluffle's stall and you see a big, iron machine. Under all the dust, you can just make out some words that says get 'a' matic 8000! Then Mr. Fluffles comes up to you and says ' Hi, I'm Mr. Fluffles, interested in the get 'a' matic 8000. And you replie 'ummm... yes a little bit'. 'Bye then'. Said Mr. Fluffles.

After that, you go and see that there's a red button on the get 'a' matic 8000. You press the button and it has now suddenly turned green... Magic. You now listen to the machine because it is saying 'Hi, I am Athena, please type in whatever you would like... Anything'! You're amazed! You step forward and type in PlayStation 4... Silence. A ps4 finally came!

Suddenly though, multiple alarms go off... A group of people walk in and in the distance you see someone with a red and black face? Unexpectedly he shouts to you very loudly, 'Who dares play with MY get 'a' matic 8000. Then you run with guards searching for you.
Are you lost....

On the way to the next exhibit you pass several people with what would appear to be snow in their hair, which seems very odd with the weather in the way it is. Then you arrive at ‘the human snow globe' which is a huge glass dome and inside you can see several people walking around a little ruined castle making a snow man and throwing snow balls. Out of the top of the little folly, snow is whizzing about and it looks very convincing indeed but there is not enough space for sledging which is a shame.

On the table are hundreds of smaller snow globes just like the larger one, visitors coming out of the big dome are running over to the table and shaking the globes ‘there you are Dad' said the boy ‘oh and this one has Mum in too'. And sure enough the miniature snow globes had tiny captured 3D tableaus of the family playing in the snow just moments before.

‘Shall we get one for the mantelpiece?' said the father and the boy nodded.

Before you move on make a note on your voting slip as to what you think of this invention.

The Orator approaches, bald head glistening in the sun.

‘Place your sheets in the box and we'll see who the Inventor Supremo is in the 117th inventors fair'.

Is there one invention which is the best in your opinion? Have a discussion now and see which you think is the most impressive, when you have decided then please read on.

‘Good good.' Says the orator as you post your sheets, but suddenly there is a huge sound from the middle of the field, you look over and see a jet of blue flame snatch up into the air. A BOOM follows which is so loud you feel it in your chest, and the orators mouth drops open aghast at what is unfolding.

A flash follows with attendants and visitors running pell-mell away from the ‘Mr Bubbles, double bubble super fizz pop' tent. ‘Run for cover' they shout as people dive behind bales of straw just before the BIG explosion.

The next events seem to happen in slow motion as tents flatten across the field and flags bend horizontally away from the epicentre of Mr Bubbles. Then a black wall sweeps across towards you and there is only a moment to duck before it engulfs you. But thankfully it passes in a moment and you stand again to see the orator is covered head to foot in soot! He turns with mouth still open and moustache intact to the single flash of a reporter's camera.

‘Well it would appear that the 117th inventors fair has come to an abrupt end' he says to you with eyebrows raised as high as they will go.

The next day the local paper lands on your hall carpet with this very photograph, the orator is central, treacle black from head to foot and behind him the stately metal dome of Mr Bubbles is spurting with a mountain of foam.

The headline runs with ‘Inventor's Bubble Trouble. Hundreds flee from catastrophic fizzy pop explosion at the 117th inventors fair'.

To the left of the picture you can see yourself looking rather surprised.

What an event!


The End

What inventions would you have liked to have seen at the fair?

Are they big or small, can they be held in your hand, or carried on your back?

Is it edible, totally credible or just downright daft!

Have a talk amongst yourselves whilst the other groups catch up.
