The autobiography of a pen in 2500 words
Answers
I am a pen and a simple but yet useful invention of mankind. I am available in different sizes and colors. My cousins and I are available in plastic, metal or both. Sometimes, I need a colored liquid called ink to be filled inside me for writing. When you use me this way, you are using an ink pen that is most popular among students. I can be used again and again after the ink is over by refilling me with ink. My ink is available in different colors.
Some cousins of mine make use of refills or gel technology for writing. Although my refills are occasionally refillable, I am usually thrown off after the refill runs dry or the ink in it is over. This is because the refill and I cost almost the same. Like my ink counterpart, my refills also come in different colors. I am often the preferred choice among elders to keep in their purse or pocket as I don’t tend to leak like the ink pen.
While a few of us have a button like mechanism to close us after use, some of us have a removable cap that must be put around the nib or refill and secured firmly after use. If not, my ink at my tip ay leak causing a mess or I tend to dry up. I often have a clasp on me to fix me in place on your shirt pocket.
There is a famous saying about me ‘The Pen is Mightier than the Sword’. There is a lot of truth in this statement. I can be used for creating various things like fiction or other essential documents. On the other hand, the sword actually causes a lot of destruction when it is being used.
I can be bought as either a single pen or even as many pens together. Apart from day to day use, I am a wonderful gift too for a special person. Most of my expensive brands come as a set of two pens for gifting – an ink pen and a ball pen with metallic rims and clasps. If used carefully, I can serve you for a very long time.
