Read about an imaginative professor who invented a marvellous mixture that could bring to life any picture to which it was applied.
"Lord, whatever can that awful smell be?" gasped Mrs. Flittersnoop, coming out of the kitchen, with a smudge of flour on her nose because she was making cakes. "Can't be the drains, they were cleaned only yesterday. Can't be something gone bad, for I turned out the larder this very morning."
It's the Professor I'm sure," said Mrs. Flittersnoop.
And it certainly was the Professor. But before Mrs. Flittersnoop had time to get to the door of his "inventory," out he burst with a little bottle in one hand, a garden syringe in the other and his clothes stained with all the colours of the rainbow.
"Amazing! he shouted, "Listen, gasped the Professor, getting his five pairs of spectacles so mixed up that he could see four Mrs. Flittersnoop, all different sizes. He always wore at lease five pairs since they each had a special function. Some were just for reading and writing, but others had a specific job, such as the pair of "look-at-you-over-the top-of" spectacles and the pair to wear when looking for the others if they were lost. "The world will resound with discovery! I never knew I was as clever as this".
