Chemistry in Cartoons

Did you know Walt Disney in one of his cartoon films introduced the concept of chemistry in his own way.Let me narrate the story to you...

One day a business man thought of buying a coal mine. He bought it. His sons who were very young claimed "OH! DADDY WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY"

Dad said "FINE! IT'S MY MONEY YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT"

Then one fine day the businessman started growing  peanuts  on the surface of the coal mine. His sons exclaimed"OH! DADDY WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY"

 Dad said "OKAY! IT'S MY MONEY YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT"

Days passed and the peanuts grew. One day the son came running to the father and said" DADDY! SOME ELEPHANTS FROM THE NEARBY JUNGLE CAME,ATE ALL THE PEANUTS, AND DESTROYED THE PLANTS."

The businessman and the sons went to the area and found that the elephants had already gone. They were about to return when the sons found some thing shining on the ground. To his surprise they were shining all over the coal field. After much observation they discovered that 'THE ELEPHANTS HAD SO MUCH WEIGHT AND THE CREATED SO MUCH PRESSURE THAT THE COAL STARTED TURNING INTO DIAMONDS.'

Father smiled and disclosed "I KNEW THAT I WOULD RECOVER MY INVESTMENTS!!!!"

Walt Disney in a childish manner explained the children that under huge pressure (& temperature-{not included})the coal gets converted into diamond.
