5 minutes of getting the projector box key

Getting the Projector Key

I saw the keys  inside the projector box lock up. I  thought in my head that I wouldn't fit my hands through .  I try but it was too far. But I try it again and used the wire to move it closer to me .  It works!   I reach out my hand then grab it.  When I got the keys  out I felt proud because I thought I wouldn't achieve what I would want to try  .
