☺A Drop In time!☺

Chapter 1:

June 2020,

One warm balmy day, Barrack Obama was on his second trip to visit Ireland. He was coming to meet with the Irish Taoiseach and congratulate him on how Ireland had overcome their financial downfall, strengthened their banks and now had the strongest economy in the world!

On his long trip across the Atlantic he became thirsty. Conveniently he had a bottle of water to hand. He was about to take a sip when a member of staff bumped into him and he spilt a few drops of water into the Atlantic Ocean below.

A very adventurous drop of water travelled back in time and landed first on a private submarine built by John Philip Holland from Lahinch, Co. Clare. The drop floated onto the submarine and watched as Holland organised the first successful launch of his submarine invention in the year 1897. As the drop rose to sea level the sun started to get warmer and warmer and then the drop began to feel extremely hot.

Chapter 2: Evaporation

The drop turned into vapour and rose into the air above sea level. It was excited to pass the Wright brothers as it evaporated and rose through the warm air just over Big Kill Devil Hill. It was December 17^th 1903 and Wilber and Orville Wright were just flying in Flyer the first plane ever to successfully fly! The raindrop clung to the outside and was carried along through the air.

The drop was really amazed by this. It had never been on an invention like this, and it couldn’t explain what it felt at that moment in time. It rose higher and higher and higher. It gradually cooled as it rose higher and then felt like It was about to freeze.

Chapter 3: Condensation

It started to condense and joined a large cloud. It spotted a nearby plane. Out of nowhere a leather seat flew past it through the cloud at speed. It fleetingly noticed someone sitting in the seat. It sighed with relief because it was only a dummy. The drop had just seen the first testing of the ejector seat. It noticed James Martin jumping for joy on the ground due to the success of his invention in 1946.

Chapter 4: Precipation

Next it froze completely and turned into a snowflake in a large snow cloud. It fell slowly onto the ground. Suddenly a Viking 31 zoomed towards him at phenomenal speed. The snowflake landed on the car. When he came to a turn the snowflake flew off. He had just witnessed the Target 550 team of Marlo Treit and Les Davenport breaking the land speed record (804 km/h) in 2012 on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Snowploughs cleared the track and it was pushed into the drain.
