My Unexpected Day

My uncle is an inventor. One day, I was searching through the attic of my uncle’s house. I found a very strange machine with many buttons, knobs, dials and levers. I had never seen a machine like that before. On one side, there was a button that said “on”. My uncle had warned me not to touch his gadgets, but my curiosity got the better of me. I pressed the “on” button, I suddenly saw a duplicate of myself! I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do. I was scared. My uncle would scold me. I had one option, but before I had a chance to execute it… My clone just vanished. I was very scared now. The machine had gone haywire. The clone was glitching. I had no option but to call my uncle. Once I called him, he came up, he was surprised, but he said nothing. As soon as he fixed it, he asked me to come down. He explained to me what his machine did and what it was. I learnt — “ Curiosity is not a sin, but it should be exercised with caution.”
