- Take a string about 2 feet long.

- At one end of the string tie the small stone. Stick or tie the mouse to the stone. - Put the string into the roll of paper.

- At the other end of the string tie the bigger stone and stick the elephant.

- Hold the roll of paper and move your hand to rotate the small stone.

• Who is pulling whom? You will be surprised! The mouse lifts the elephant! How did this magic happen?

When the small stone i.e., the mouse rotates, it creates a force due to which the bigger stone i.e., the elephant is being pulled up.
