SHORT STORY

One day in my dream, I wanted to invent a gadget. I thought I would invent a powerful gadget for our army. It was a body armour. My goal was to dedicate that armour for the nation.

I started with scientist friends, Hemasathwik and Bhanu. When I started working on my invention, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called me and appreciated my good work. He said that if I succeeded, it would be a proud moment for India. Our prime minister also said that Pakistani secret agents were spying on us to steal the gadget. I realized that we should be careful. I began to work on the gadget more carefully. After a few months, Pakistani spies infiltrated our lab. I saw them and I switched on the armour. It suddenly attached to me.

The spies opened fire on us. I clicked the button on the armour and it shielded me. I saved myself and my friends with that armour. Later, I clicked another button and guns came out of the armour and started to fire at the spies. All of them died. Then I understood the power of my gadget.

I called the police and told them about everything. They told me to wait for them to come. After a few minutes, the police came to my lab. The police took the dead bodies and instructed me to be safe. Then they left.

Like that, I invented more than 10,000 armours and I sent them to the Indian army. Indian army officials called me and asked me to join the award ceremony. I was honoured with the “Best Armour Creator Award” by our honourable Prime Minister.

It was really a proud moment for me and my family!

I felt happy to be an Indian.
