Galia-please garth take me with you
Garth- sorry galia it would be better if you marry and
settle down with ulgar
Garth-who knows we may e able to see so many little ulgars
in Milky Way in time to come
Galia-I will never marry that idiot, I love you only
Ulgar overhears garth and his fiancé he is furious-“damn
her! She thinks so about me, in love with that earthman ,I will teach him a lesson!-ulgar thinks.
Ulgar- I will use my transfer belt to carry you with me
Garth- I have taken leave from galia and have said goodbye to her ,let us go.
Suddenly they materialize in garth’s London apartment-garth-
thanks ulgar I am sorry I may not be
able to attend your wedding, maybe we will meet someday.
Ulgar-ha! ha! But nobody will be able to see you!..ulgar
disappears leaving garth perplexed.
Garth- I remember ulgar’s laughter when he left , I wonder
what is the joke..
First let me wash up and change clothes , garth is in the
bathroom undressing preparing for bath
When he looks at the mirror he find no reflection or image
of his face in the mirror and wonders
what has happened to him
Suddenly he realizes- iam invisible..that is why ulgar was
laughing that sadist has played a trick
on me!
Even the clothes I am wearing are invisible ,ulgar has
fooled me, damn him!
Let me go outside to
avoid the tension, I can not remain inside , this will affect my mental
balance- garth thinks as he steps out in the street.
I will have to be careful and keep in mind that nobody will
be able to see him , lost in thoughts garth bumps in to a unsuspecting man on the pavement who fails
to see him.

Garth- I am sorry. My fault , here, I will let me help you
Oh! Thank you..
Gath [invisible]- I hope you are all right
Oh yes, could not see you..HELP!
Another stroller hearing cries for help comes forward-“ are
you ok mate? What seems to be the trouble?”
“ I must surely be going mad, I thought iwas knocked down on
the road by some body ,he picked me
up,but I COULD NOT SEE HIM
Garth is deep in thought while he tries to cross the
street-“ I have to be careful keep
forgetting that nobody can see me”,,, and is almost knocked by a speeding bus.
Really! The driver could not see me . now I need a strong
drink to steady my nerves…thinks a shaken garth as he barely escapes unhurt
from the bus.
Garth enters a pub and orders a double scotch to a bartender
whose back is turned to him
“ be with you in a moment”-says the bartender and as he
turns to serve garth with his drink he
is surprised to see no one-“ what is the
big idea , where are you sir?
“thanks take this
money..” says garth who is invisible , the man is startled out of his wits as
coins appear on his table out of nowhere.” Hey what is this? I got the money”
Gart is relaxing leaning against a parking meter when he is spotted by a sniffer
dog “ a hound! I have to be careful, I may be invisible but I am not an electric pole!”
The dog barks fearfully and ferociously at the invisible
man.
Garth reaches professor lumiere’s apartment—
Proff- “it is strange I thought I heard the door bell!”
Garth –bell did ring professor it is me garth! I am in trouble really bad trouble!” –says an
invisible garth.

Garth- professor I have become invisible and I have a few abrasions in the bargain.. sit
down and I will fill you in with the
details.
Professor- -UNBELIEVEABLE!
Later on professor explains to garth-“clearly dromedians
have found a way to neutralize guiding
principles governing your body’s natural processes “
Garth-“professor could you simplify it a bit for me?
It means that your body is no longer receiving the light ,it
is not able to reflect or refract the light rays ,so that you are invisible!
Professor-“ garth you
are living in fourth dimension clothed in a veil of invisibility”
Garth – ok! So how do I get out of this?
Proff.-“ I am sorry garth
iam unable to help you ,only ulgar can bring you back to your normal
self!”
Garth- “that cheat? Then it is hopeless!”
Proff.- “ I will try to find out what is being done in the
research field in invisibility,but for the sake of your own and other’s safety
it is imperative that you stay put in my apartment”
After aweek garth asks-proff. Lumiere if there is any good
news ?
Proff- yes some research is going on ithe field of making
thins invisible but as yet nobody is doing research to make invisible things
visible!
Garth- im going up to hampstead heath .i can not tolerate
being cooped up in this apartment any more!
Proff-“ be very
careful garth ,invisibility can be more dangerous than blindness!”
Garth has parked his car in a deserted wooded area and is
trying to communicate with ulgar-“ ulgar! Ulgar! Where ever you are in space ,
please listen to me you have had your silly joke now bring me back to
normalcy.!”
A thing” suddenly materializes
out of nowhere on hampstead
heath—GALIA!how did you reach here? Garth asks.
I heard tat buffoon
ulgar boasting of what he had done to
you so iasked my farther to get me a
transfer belt and here I am!
So gart I press this button on this belt and you have become
visible again!- says galia
“ you are magnificent Gloria”.
Garth- glories you are coming to town with with me I will
give a ring to professor lumieare….
Galia- wait garth there is no need for that this belt
can do anything for us watch! Saying
thus galia presses another button on the belt and garth is startled to see a
fairy tale palace appearing out of nowhere on Hempstead heath!
Galie-no garth this is not your world this is way beyond your
dream world.. Come hold my hand..
Galia- it exists only in your mind but it is sufficient for
us tonight!
After a night of passion with galia [missing strip] garth
returns to London to professor lumiere’s place
Proff-“ why .. you are visible again garth! how did this
happen?
Garth – only person with whom I got friendly in space came
and worked this miracle!
Proff –“you have dropped something ..an ear ring from your
pocket was this very good friend awoman garth?
Garth - yes really professor a real woman!
Think professor despite all these surprising miraculous
scientific feats and progress one thing is still unchanged a woman's heart! Bless her heart!
