Once, he tried to make a potion that would give him long, blond hair. Instead it gave him 19 rainbow colored hairs that fell off all the time and then regrew. One evening, as he was sitting in his living room, a song from Earth came on to the radio. It was called "If I Could Save Time in a Bottle". Then he jumped up and said "I will save time in a bottle! I will make it, so whoever drinks it will become younger by 20 years! Then I will make more of it, sell it and earn a lot of money! He ran to his laboratory and started mixing all kinds of odd ingredients like fresh dust from Mars, Saragon's hair from Farasod, part of the inner ring of Uranus, and water from Earth (to make everything liquid). He ground the things that where solid, mixed the ingredients, and let it boil for 20 minutes. When the drink was ready, he drank a little to test it. He felt as though somebody had put him in an icicle, and then the feeling stopped. He went to the mirror to see himself, but he only saw the reflection of the laboratory. He wished that he could see himself, and at the same minute his reflection appeared, looking as old as ever. Then he wished he was invisible again and at the same moment his reflection disappeared. And then he said "Well, I may have not saved time in a bottle, but I will earn a lot of money just the same. I have made an Invisibility Potion!" The next day, he wrote down the recipe, for he remembered it all, so he wouldn't forget it later and he pinned it to his "Success" board, which was nearly empty compared to the overflowing "Failure" board. He looked at the other thing on the "Success" board, and saw a natural hair potion. He still had some of it, so he drank it and got ready to sell the Invisibility Potion. After the first day he had enough money to buy a shop. So he put all his best potions for sale, including the one that gave him the 19 rainbow colored hairs, with the natural hair potion in the alley next to it. As time passed he made more successful potions and soon became less crazy. He got married, had his children, and lived to a very old age. When he died, his son inherited the shop. But even after he died, he was still known as the "Best Chemist in all of Jarvzikov". Text: Gaya Ein Ganim School |
Once, in a planet called Jarvzikov,
there lived a species called Drangiiy. Among them lived a crazy chemist
called Jabada. He made all kinds of odd potions and drinks that never
worked as expected.
