I felt like I was going to die. But suddenly a light bulb appeared over my head and I aimed the machine towards the sky held the wires together and hit the button. “Ouch,” was all I could say after being shocked. But I didn’t see. Did it work? I looked in the sky but saw no sign of the machine’s laser having shot the ozone restoration ray.
I took off my shoelace and tied the wires together and once again aimed up and hit the button. A green ray of light went up. I was so excited. I had saved the world. The ozone is going to be restored to its normal thickness. I looked up and saw it still going. It was only a matter of seconds before the world was saved for good.

“Thank you all for this award. I feel though, I don’t deserve this. My father who died exactly a year ago should. He was the inventor of the world-saving machine. All I did was find it and hit a button,” I said to the press when I won the Nobel Prize for Science. It was three months after I had restored the ozone that I was awarded this.
