Krátky popis
A retired middle-aged gentleman and his wife take a long walk,
arm-in-arm, many miles, up hills, across fields, with a laden
knapsack and a heavy picnic basket, and yet they are completely at
ease because of the gentleman's invention, a negative gravity
device, which they carry to lighten their weight. He uses the
device to help with farm work. The gentleman later uses the device
on a mountain climb and amazes an unknowing Alpine-club member with
his speed and agility on a difficult mountain climb in spite of his
carrying a heavy load and not looking particularly strong. He
realizes the invention has tremendous financial potential. However,
this invention gets him into a humorous predicament and causes a
problem for his family, which he resolves in an unexpected way.This
light-hearted short story was first published in a collection by
Frank R. Stockton entitled The Christmas Wreck and Other Stories
(New York, 1886), an imaged copy of which is available at The
Internet Archive.
