Summary
When I called up my mother on the phone she was very upset,because some snakes came near herhousenow and then . I thought it was a chance for me to distinguish myself by inventing something merciful that would get rid of the snakes. I set about researching the habits of snakes to find the easiest way to trap them. Finally I decided on three possible approaches . My first two attempts both failed, so I had to improve my design again. To my great delight, this time I succeeded. All was in expectation and at last I collected the passive snakes and merrily released them all back into the wild. Pressed by my friends and relations, I decided to seize the opportunity to get recognition for my successful idea by sending my invention to the patent office.
