Tommy could not wait for the break to begin.He wanted to show Jim,his best friend,the robot that his parents got him for his birthday.He lifted the robot,which was wrapped in a towel,out from his school bag.He looked around to make sure that no one had noticed what he was doing.

Miss Tan,their English teacher,stood behind them and said angrily, "Boys,stop what you are doing and come here." The boys froze in horror,but they suddenly burst into laughter.The robot had stopped what it was doing and was walking towards Miss Tan.Miss Tan also burst into laughter.
"Alright boys,you have made a big mistake.As a punishment,I want you to
