    A long time ago, in a busy city called Alexandria, there lived a smart man named Heron. He was an inventor who loved to study water and air pressure.

    Heron had a big dream. He wanted to build a machine that could make water move upwards! Many people thought this was impossible.

    One day, while watching a river, an idea popped into Heron's head. With excitement, he began to draw his idea. It involved tubes, pots, and valves. It was complicated.

    Making his machine was tough, but Heron did not give up. He used clay and copper to build his machine, making sure it was strong yet flexible.

    After many months, Heron's machine was ready. He put water in the lower pot, sealed it, and pumped in air. To his joy, the water started to rise!
