In a small, sleepy coastal town lived an eccentric inventor called Professor Stein. Professor Stein was obsessed with the idea of creating a floating island, which he wanted to call “Silberstein”. He spent years working on his crazy project and one day, after a particularly stormy night, the unbelievable happened. Professor Stein's chaotic workshop exploded in a swirl of steam, gears and... Silver paint. When the smoke cleared, the astonished townspeople saw that a small, glittering island had emerged from the sea. It was covered in strange contraptions, crooked towers and, of course, lots of silver paint. It turned out that the explosion had triggered a bizarre chain reaction that had lifted a huge sponge soaked in silver paint out of the sea. Professor Stein, still somewhat befuddled, proudly announced the birth of “Silberstein”, his floating invention. The island quickly became a tourist attraction, famous for its quirky inventions, the ubiquitous silver sheen and the occasional outbursts of Professor Stein's latest, still immature machines.
