The wheel

The wheel, known as the greatest invention of mankind.  The wheel helps you to get to your location, it is faster than other ways of moving people and objects and you don't need to do lots of work.   Imagine if Mesopotamia, the founder of the wheel, never invented the wheel! Cars wouldn't exist, motors, revolving doors, merry go rounds, etc.

Firstly, wheels help you to get to your location. Many vehicles today contain wheels. Vehicles such as buses, cars, bikes, trains, skateboards, roller skates, and motor vehicles are used all the time and have become a necessary part of our lives. Bikes all help people move from place to place. These are some locations people go to work, school, the shops, sports games, their home, and different cities to visit and explore.

Secondly, wheels help people to get places and move objects faster. Wheels with spokes were first made around 2000BC.  They were lighter, enabling most vehicles to move faster. The mechanical work of a car allows you to change the speed of the engine which goes to the wheel. Without that, in the olden days, they had to go at different speeds depending on how much energy they had. Before the wheel, sleds, horses, donkeys, camels, and sacks had to be used to pull things and that was a lot slower. With horses and donkeys, you had to take care of them by feeding them and giving them water, and if they got tired they went even slower!

Lastly, the wheel made transporting people and resources easier.   If you run your body uses lots of energy but when you drive a car your body doesn’t get physically exhausted.  If you tried to carry 5 bricks they would be heavy but if you put them in a wheelbarrow it would take less work.  For thousands of years, people have used sleds to drag heavy loads - this would have been a lot more time consuming and harder. The wheel was invented because the work was getting harder, they needed something to make life easier and make moving heavy loads, planting crops and making pottery easier.

I hope I have convinced you that the wheel is the greatest invention of all time, It helps you get to your location, it takes less work to move people and resources and it’s a faster way of transportation.  So be grateful that the wheel was invented otherwise you would be pulling sleds!

my bike

This is a normal bike however I changed the wheels. I made the wheels thicker so it would be more sturdy and safe also I changed the pedals so that when you pedal it powers energy to make it go faster out of exhaust pipe

Rankings

• Frame
• Chain
• Wheels
• Pedals
• Handlebars
• Seat
• Brakes
• Bell
• Reflector

Explanation of the rankings

I believe that the frame and the chain are equally vital because if the frame wasn't there all the parts would not be stable and the chain makes the whole bike move.   Secondly, the wheels are vital because without the wheels, you would have to push with your feet and that would take a lot of work. Now we're going into the middle of the rankings.  I think the seat, handlebars and pedals are equally vital because it's not a must but good to have because without the seat you wouldn't have somewhere to rest your bottom, with handlebars you can control which way you’re moving and the pedals allow you to make your bike move.  The bell and reflectors are not that important because you can warn people you’re coming by shouting instead of ringing a bell. You don't need reflectors that much because if your traveling during the day they’re no use.

The Little Shoemaker

On a fine day in Strasbourg, France, there lived a diminutive, hard-working man named Arthur.  He had hair like spikes and a moustache like a trimmed bush. Arthur owned an old fashioned shop named Cordonnerie, which meant a shoe shop in French.

While Arthur was dusting his shoes a dainty lady was strolling through the streets when a red high heel with a blush pink bow caught her eye. The lady had a dark, mustard colour dress with bold polka dots scattered around. Her hair was a colour of an apricot and her eyes were emerald green, that glistened in the scorching sun. The lady cheerfully accepted the high heels until something happened…

An old vintage van covered with red carbon fibre braked, a man named Remy cheerfully hopped out of the van he had a black suit and white gloves. Remy was around 6 ft and 5 inches tall, a black top hat on his head. Remy was holding A staff in his hand and pressed the button to Arthur and the customer’s surprise it displayed magnificent heels, the customer rushed over but they were too expensive suddenly a tiny bell rang. The customer elegantly walked over to a wooden stall which had on display the glossy high heel, then  Remy pushed the same red button and posters popped up from all sides giving the lady a discount. Finally, she agreed to the deal and bought it.

Arthur was angry, he went into his shop and got his materials to make his shoe he spent the rest of the day and night creating a masterpiece. The next morning a pair of sneakers came to life. On the same stall one sneaker proudly stood there, Remy hit the red button and a marvellous stand of white and red sneakers. Arthur was jaw dropped.

He started ringing a bell and holding a sign saying -20% but nobody bought his shoes. Then a  -60% still nobody bought his shoes, finally, the man gave a whopping -95% still no luck for Arthur. By now all his money was used poor old Arthur was depressed and he didn't know what to do.

         

Remy came to his door, in the night, and through the mail slot in the door a page glide  onto the floor. The text written on the page said 79,000 franc, the french dollar, for the shop. When he was about to sign the contract, his shoes appeared. A pair of light yellow coloured shoes with a tin of gold. The next morning  he trotted outside with the paper and the golden shoes. Arthur proudly gave the box, Remy snatched the box with a curious look. When he opened the box a surprising look was on his face when he saw the golden, glimmering shoes. He tried them on. The shoes were controlling him they made Remy do the splits after that they made him run away into the horizon.

Arthur walked back into his shop, suddenly another van pushed Remy’s van and then parked his shoe van where Remy’s was parked Arthur clenched his fists together an shouted “ THIS IS WAR”.
