The Revolutionary Invention (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:44s
A brilliant inventor had a revolutionary model of a clean-energy motor that could change the world. He had only one month to raise the necessary money, and to do so, he had set up a media campaign showcasing the innovative design and its potential to reduce pollution. The metal prototype stood proudly on display, surrounded by meters measuring its efficiency, but the inventor knew it wouldn’t be an easy task and it would take all his might to overcome the skeptics. A minor setback, however, came from a mischievous mouse that kept stealing tiny metal parts, causing delays. Undeterred, the inventor began to mount a new, mouse-proof workspace on the outskirts of town, fueled by a strong sense of moral purpose and a determination to succeed.
