Peter was all ready with his presentation. An incomplete presentation actually but the best he could do. The tent was tightened, The master theory was placed the centre. Under it, A cheap prepared prototype was placed and it was the only thing which could attract people. I mean, Peter was not so beautiful to be a source of attraction. Oh yeah! Peter. He was almost the youngest participants in the entire arena. The faces of other participants were so tempting that it depicted that how hard they'd worked for. Compared to his model, Others had greater devices to show and beautiful they dressed them. Peter was extremely nervous and was increasing his nervousness by looking each and every better model of others.

The exhibition began. Scientist started revolving around different stalls and tried to check the best they could do. They were on the verge to dig out the odds in the models. One of the scientist contradicted the operation of one model and it got fused when it started. He was disqualified and removed from the league. Peter felt to vomit.

'What you're upto?' A neighbor stall holder came to Peter and asked

'Its almost nothing.' Peter answered

'Then why you're here lad?!

'Its Peter. Like its written here.' He pointed out at a name plate of his name. He added 'I've come to gamble.'

'But its not a place to gamble I suppose.'

'Perhaps. But I think I'm gambling on the right thing.' Peter smiled. He was just showing off. Deep inside he was trembled. He added 'By the way, What you've made?'

'Oh its a chasis made of carbon fibre mixed with Titinium. It gives weightlessness as well as great strength. Have a look.' It was Matte blue painted with classic sheen.

'Its sexy enough! Mine is a device that could improve brain's capacity to store memories in a better way. Like a web browser is capable of storing the history, you can easily store what you learn. Even you can easily be able to recall what daily calculations you do.'

'Woooh! Really? Does it work?'

'Ahem.... Not yet.'

'Oh my god then you are really gambling!' The man commented. He didn't like his statement.

'I guess someone is approaching to your stall. You should go now.' He left Peter.

A man was approaching near to Peter's stall, who had disqualified many models of various people. Relatively, he would throw Peter's model away. He was terrified. He decided to hide behind and prevent dealing with him. If there would be no one to deal with, He would get no chance to disqualify his model.

Kevin and Dalton have arrived at the fare. As they put down their steps on the land, One assistant quickly joined them as per the protocol and instructed about the whole fare. Stalls were arranged in a cresent shape. They chose to stary from the left hand side. As they moved on, same models were reappearing with little modifications. There were few more efficient models but most of them were economically high or practically difficult to apply. There was nothing new in them. The ugliest stall was of Peter. Even the wood he used was wet one. Although it was not the attractive but it was the odd one out.
