Science 2

I took my destructive unappreciated science experiments and moved on to helping society. Me and Barry
created what was a Polio vaccine .  I have no idea what was in it, but move over  Jonas Salk. So all the kids in the building lined up on the 5th floor stair case for their  shots.  Barry's father was diabetic, as we saw it, we were lucky that he was. It gave us the opportunity to borrow his hypodermic needle. Now we had the apparatus to vaccinate everyone.  I went first to show it was safe. I didnt die. So then everyone was fighting to go next. Polio was a scary disease at the time. We had a friend who actually got polio and became paralyzed. It didnt stop him from doing things. Well a telephone pole stopped him one day when he stole his father's car and  couldnt move his foot to the brake. Boy, was his dad mad.
   Anyway, back to  needles .  After we did our vaccinations, it was time to create the next great thing. We made a special mixture.  We weren't sure what it would do, but we knew it was powerful.  It was our belief that it would cause tumors. But we needed a guinea pig. We couldnt find any guinea pigs but we had a brilliant idea. My father  was a guppy breeder. Beautiful long-tail guppies. He had hundreds of them swimming around in the tank and they constantly gave birth to more.  So there were our guinea pigs. GUPPIES. We took a few males and a few females. We injected our secret formula into them Some were injected in the back, some by the tail . They gave birth to many, and those gave birth, It was the coolest thing ever. Lots and lots of guppies who swam standing erect. Yes they were vertical and were swimming and looking much cooler than the  horizontal swimming fish. I had the coolest fish in town.  My father looked kind of bewildered when he noticed his prized fish swimming unlike all other  fish. I was  proud of the success of the experiment. My father  interrogated me, to find out if I had  messed with his fish.  Why, did he pick me to interrogate and not my brother or sisters.  So i admitted to him that I was creating a better breed of guppy. I was helping him to have the best fish in town.  I told him of the secret formula that  we injected into them. He turned red,  He yelled at me to leave his fish, his fish food and  warned me not to go near Chipper the parakeet.  He left the room.  I was still proud.
