said,“Zzzzzzzzzz!”

finished mopping the floor.

The father made the robot
take the trash outside to throw it
in the garbage can.

14.
Andrea wondered what the robot’s brain
looked like.
She held his nose with her right hand,
and she opened his head with her left hand,
to see his brain.
![Page 16: Robot-bot-bot Illustrated by Fernando Krahn Text dictated by PS183’s 2008 newcomer ESL class Edited by Erzsebet Harskuti](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eff5503460f94c15347/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

She put her right hand inside to feel
what was inside his head.
She pulled out some plugs
and heard something rattling.
![Page 17: Robot-bot-bot Illustrated by Fernando Krahn Text dictated by PS183’s 2008 newcomer ESL class Edited by Erzsebet Harskuti](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649eff5503460f94c15347/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Next she spoke
into the remote, “Make me
some cupcakes!”
But the robot shook his head and his arms.
He didn’t say, “Zzzzzzzzzz.”
He said, “Bot bot

Suddenly the robot
ran very fast.
He turned the chair over where Dad
was reading.
The rug was rolling
on the floor.
Dad’s slippers fell
from his feet.

The mother was taking
some hot soup to her husband.
The soup spilled
on the chair and the table.
Dad's book fell, too.

on top of the father and the chair

and into the garbage can.

The garbage man didn’t see the robot
inside the garbage can.
He picked up the can.

into the truck. The family yelled,
“Wait! Wait!”
The garbage man said, “What’s the matter?”

for the family to come outside.

Dad tried to fix the robot
in the garage.
He put all the plugs back inside it.
Andrea felt bad
thatshe had broken
the robot.
She watched her father
use a screwdriver.

The robot and Andrea
played table tennis
on the ping pong table.
Everybody was happy again,
because the robot was fixed.
He was fine now.
