The kettle sat upon the stove absorbing heat in order to control the state of the water contained within. Nearby a pot was perched over a burner, boiling away. The kettle thought to itself, "What a glorious tool am I. That I can heat water with such efficiency. When my contents have been coerced into the desired state, I force the water though my finely crafted spout to release a useful scream. My custom fit handle makes it an ease for my user to pour the liquid into the desired consumption vehicle. My construction is an economy of function--truly beautiful design. My creator must be proud. The ugly, black pot to my left is such a brutish tool in comparison. Boiling water with such a utensil would be utterly daft. I am the path to the future of water enhancing tools!"
After some time had passed, both the kettle and the pot rested above their heating elements, rigid in their stillness--charred, empty. No human had monitored the job these tools were designed to solve. The water was gradually vaporized until none could be found in its native form.
