Assignment 1: Story

The object that I wanted to model for Assignment 1 is an alarm clock. Below is the story for the Assignment 1.

Rat and his friend, Lat, like to race on the race track using mousetrap cars. However, one day, Rat started boosting about always winning in all the races that they compete and soon became arrogant about it.

Lat was increasingly furious day by day, and one day he finally said, "Don't be so arrogant! My friend Zat is way better off than you! He will probably finish the entire race in one minute!"

Rat replied, "No worries, go and tell him that I want to challenge him to a race next week."

And so Rat started training to prepare for the challenge. However, there was no way to keep track of the timing, so he had to modify an alarm clock that originally shows the time of the day, to take his timing for the race instead. He originally took around two minutes to complete the race, but after several practices and discovering some techniques, he was soon able to reduce his timing to around fourty-five seconds.

Then the day of the challenge came. Rat and Zat was at the starting point of the racing track. Lat, being the judge of the race, put his hand on one of the buttons of the clock that starts the timing of the clock. Lat shouted, "Ready! On your mark! GO!"

The race was fast and furious as both Rat and Zat overtook each other. But after several seconds, Zat was finally leading and Rat could not manage to catch up with him after that. Zat went on to hit the wire at the finishing line, which stopped the clock's timing, and completed the race in merely thirty seconds.

When Rat debarked from his car, he could not believe his eyes when he looked at the clock. Zat's timing was way too good! Rat finally realised that his skills were nothing compared to Zat, and congratulated Zat for winning the race.

After the challenge, Rat went on to apologize to his friend Lat. "Sorry, I was being too arrogant," Rat said to Lat. "No worries Rat! I hope that you finally realise that when you thought that you are really very good, always remember that there will be someone better than you!" replied Lat.

And they remained as best friends forever for the rest of their life.
