THE ARTICHOKE THAT DROPPED FROM SPACE
Richard was working hard to built a space jet . It was a tough very winter with lesser temperatures in Netherlands , yet the climate hasn't lessened the fire in him . On every completion of the work , he would get some error which leads to the complete failure . This errors would haunt him and used to ruin his sleep .
Artichokes was his only friend and food , he loved them the most . It was the only companion to quench his lost energy . It served to build the confidence levels which he used to loose because of errors.
Suddenly one night , after reaching his bed an idea flashed in his mind . He rushed to his workshop with so much delight just like Archimedes ran on the streets without a single fibre of cloth . He applied a new formula and repaired the jet pack . Suddenly the jet pack ignited and started to work . All the work he did paid him finally . The most striking part of the space jet is that a milli gram decrease in weight from the jet would make it from enormous gravitation pull .
With this happiness , he packed his bag and why not ? he filled his bag with his love , artichokes . Packing the stuff , he stepped into the jet ..
WOHHOO !! BOOM !!
Jet raised high , kissing the ground with a lot of fire . He could clearly see the view of his country Netherlands .It raised very much high but the saddest thing is that it stopped after reaching some 8000 meters above the sea level ...... He couldn't fly up and come down . The only solution is to throw some mass out of the jet . He doesn't have another choice , breaking his heart he took out the bag and threw an Artichoke out of the jet with much higher speed .
You know what ? The thrown Artichoke rolled and rolled and rolled and fell in my garden . I found it in the morning while cleaning my garden . I planted it and grew them in numbers and distributed among my country people . Surprisingly it was because of Richard my country people are able to include Artichoke into their menu . Thanks bro ;)
