Inside ‘the house his enthusiastic tail continually swept ‘omaments and glassware to destruction, Out in the yard he liked to bound up to visitors, stand on his hind legs and lick their faces joyeusly from chin to forehead with a slobbering upward movement that was as wet as a dripping squeegee. If they fell over backwards under his assanlt, he stood on their chests and dribbed saliva on “hem lovingly from above, ‘His huge splayed feet left ragged tracks through Mrs Sourberry’s garder.

While he was working near an chocolate bar in his pocket melted, Thinking that the mi 'ttommelt, he placed popcorn kemels infront of the transmitter, which caused the icrowaves may have caused kernels to pop. Percy's discovery led to the invention of the microwave oven. Within 40 years, the ‘microwave has become one of the most popular appliances inthe ki How does it work? A microwave oven consists of a bos lined with aluminium shielding and a magnetron which emits ‘microwaves. When the microwave oven is operating, microwaves ire’ out of the magnetron.
