One day Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president, was bored so he decided to invent something. He worked very hard to try and invent something that could play music, so he could listen to all the smash hits of the 1800's. You know like uhhh............ well I wasn't alive back then, so I wouldn't know. Abe knew his favorite songs that I cannot currently think of, but he put countless weeks into his invention until he made the perfect music player. The Boombox. He named it this because the sound was so loud the bass would make a booming noise. This invention became so popular this was one of the reasons he was elected. This story was definitely real.
