6.1 Inventors Fair Skye

‘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 security safe, soon to be available throughout the land (patent pending), its super light construction unlike those cumbersome iron boxes in banks. But best of all it is designed to lock away all your most valuable possessions inside a surprising quirk of space; time itself! It's the craziest thing, seeing your precious stuff just vanish into thin air and then be extracted once more. 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 and mum were 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 a metal unit the size of a piece of fruit, in big vinyl letters it says GPS on top and you pick it up. It feel quite warm considering that it's metal but really light weight. There is a button on the side which you push and the unit begins to activate.

A green circle illuminates the middle with white dots flashing in sequence towards the cave at the back of the stall.

The device is called the ghost sniffer and it's already picking up traces of sniffs so you follow the arrows towards the back.

The first ghost appears and you are not even scared, not even a little bit so you keep on going deeper. Then suddenly the boss ghost said hi so then you get scared

And you get the news on the GPS, said a massive earthquake so we have to get out of here.

As you approach the stall you see something it's like a gps but you can see ghost to find out what's haunted or if your house is haunted or not
BEWARE you might get scared!!
I found out that the school is haunted but no one beleaves me but the ghost sniffer said it was haunted, unless it's Broken but I doubt it as its a new envention
Surprisingly
The power has gone out and the fire alarm has gone off. Everyone is scarred this kid is breving heavily.
Suddenly
The door opens AHH! Everyone screams the kid passes out everyone is trying to get out
But...someone goes back to help him as he is thoughtful but everyone else is frightened the kid who goes in get possessed dragging him out of the class room everyone is dreadful.
Yes I screamed I knew my invention worked but i think everyone will never forget about that boy who got possessed by the doormented ghost that was wearing the massive top hat and kept saying like a glove! With a freeky laugh at the end!
And that is the power of the GHOST SNIFFER Dun Dun Dun

As you approach the stall you see a book stall but not just any old book stall a magic store inside is devices upon devises and this persific device is incredible easy to use . When you can't even move or can't be bothered to read , attach this device to your book and the magic will happen right in front of you . You will never have to read yourself again . Just then you see a range of magical powder shooting up in the air but you catch the glimpse of a weeping boy with his arms around his big fury dog.
"what's wrong? " you ask
" I've lost my mother and I have know idea where I am "
you thought and you thought and then
" does your mother carry a book of some sort "

Make a note on your voting slip if this is a good invention before you move on .

As you approach the stall,you hear a loud BANG!! as this happens a man strolls out sniffing his wallet.You wonder what is going on. You skip inside.There in the middle of the stall is a stage on the stage lays a tramp looking gloomy and bored next to him stands Inventor Know It All wearing a tall top hat a smart science cloak and giant colour explosive shoes. He stands proud showing off his invention. You approach him and ask what this mystical invention does. As he explains you find yourself counting and staring at all the tramps scattered around.You realise what it does.
"It helps homeless people into become a lot more safer as The Homelyness Machine gives tramps homes,food,money and clouthes.WOW!"

The the most incredible thing happens as the inventor demonstrates on the tramp. ZAP!! BANG!! Suddenly,a meteor like bolt is fired at the tramp that once lay on the stage looking gloomy and bored. But now stood on a chair like Superman.
" Now you see what this machine does please splash your cash into the pot and buy one." Inspector Know It All explains.

All of a sudden, something loud stops you in your tracks. BOOM!!! Ellie Thomas who was standing next to you was staring in ore at herself in the mirror.
" As you can see" Know It All says excitedly." It changes the rich into tramps to.
"Ellie screamed and sprinted out like she was being chased by a bear. You follow after looking back every now and again to make sure Inventor Know It All wasn't firming anything at you.

You swiftly move on.

As you approach the stall you can see a big huge machine. It helps you get ready for bed, school and if you are going to a wedding it makes you look beautiful and wonderful. The changing machine is one big great machine and it will help you and your family get ready for a wedding and bed also school. If you try it out and you liked it they would cost £1.000 pounds. Next there was a little boy named Andrew who tried the new changing machine and 'exclaimed you have created and invented a great machine.


Then the most incredible thing happened with Andrew he was so desperate he needed to try the machine so he pressed the on button, suddenly the best thing happened the changing machine had given Andrew the best incredible makeover ever. Supprisingly Andrew 's mum,dad and sister Katie came to the park and saw Andrew and looked and was shocked and did not know what to say. So with that mum,dad and sister Katie decided to have a go so then they each had a go.After they had a go they all looked different.

Suddenly something went wrong and with that the changing machine started shaking and wouldn't stop shaking and then Finally stopped it went silent. As Andrew and his family went for a walk it was so quiet and then with that there was one big BANG we had to get out of here so we ran and ran and then called the fire brigade.

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!
