Very nice short story (fiction)... 'Fiction by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver | Illustrations by Scott Garrett'
Ever since I can remember, I have wanted a pet robot.
“Robot,” I’d say. “Can you brush my teeth for me?”
“Robot,” I’d say. “I lost my sock. Please find it.”
And he would. At least, in my imagination.
So you can imagine what I did when our principal, Mr. Love, came into
our classroom to announce that my school was having a “Build Your Own
Robot” contest the next day. To be truthful, he had announced it the
week before, and the week before that too. Stuff like that always slips
my mind, and I mean always. This time, the announcement sunk
into my ears and stayed there. I stuck my hand up in the air, waved it
around like a flag on the Fourth of July and said, “I’m in! Please pick
me!!!”
He did. The problem was that I had only one day to build a robot and had no idea how to do it. I mean, no idea.
Luckily, I have two good friends, named Frankie Townsend and Ashley
Wong, who are full of ideas. Unlike me, they are really good students
and they know how to get things done on time. I specialize in getting
nothing done, and getting that done late.
