Story Time

It was a lovely Saturday evening. Moon

was big and bright. Children gathered

around a world class storyteller. The

storyteller was well known for his

interesting stories. The storyteller said

loud and clear, “Children, please listen

carefully this is the last story of the day.

The name of the story is Bobo the Robo.”

It made no sense to the children because

no one had ever heard about a story called

Bobo the Robo.

4

“Wow that sounds great! Please tell us

more about Bobo,” screamed the excited

children.

“Well, I won’t tell unless you are really

curious.” He paused and

said,

“Do you really want to

know? Are you sure?”

“Yes we are,” said the

children.

“Are you a hundred

percent sure?” he asked

again.

5

“Yes we are,” said the children, even

louder.

“We want to know more,” said Ming.

“Who is this Bobo the Robo?” asked Adu.

“Where does he come from?” asked Emily.

“What can he do?” asked John.

6

As you may have noticed, it was late in the

night. Yes, the moon was bright. Time was

exactly half past nine. The storyteller

checked his watch, shook his head and

said, “I am sorry to disappoint, but I must

go now.”

He paused. “I have been telling stories all

day long. It is really late. I must eat and

take some rest.

So, ’till we meet again you will have to

wait.”

7

“Uh Oh.”

“Oh No!”

The children were disappointed.

“I promise I will tell the story next time.

If you like there are some cookies in the

plate,” said the storyteller before he

disappeared.

8

Next day it was rainy even chilly and

gloomy.

John,

Adu, Ming and Emily all got up early.

9

Everyone thought about the Robo whose

name the storyteller said was Bobo!

Time was almost two minutes to nine and

the phone rang in everybody’s house.

Guess what? It was the storyteller’s voice.

The storyteller said:

10

“Good morning

everybody. Hope

you all are doing

fine. I have to

apologize again; I

was planning to

invite you today

but near my

house there is heavy rain. So, my dear

friends, I will see you on Monday. Have a

Fun-O-Blastic Sun-Day!

And he hung up the phone.

11

Sparkling idea

“Oh no!”

“Not once again,” said the children.

“What are we going to do?”

“We were so looking forward to hearing the

story.”

Then suddenly Emily had an idea.

A bright, shiny sparkling idea!

12

13

Emily called Adu, Ming and John.

Emily, John and Ming went to Adu’s home.

Together they created a wonderful plan.

They played. Each told the others a joke.

The rain stopped in the afternoon.

Adu’s dad took them to the zoo,

Where there lived lion, giraffe and cow.

They also played bat ’n’ ball.

The weekend was not boring at all.

“Bobo the Robo”

Then came a new Monday.

The children were waiting eagerly for the

storyteller to arrive at his home.

Finally, he came in and hung his coat on

the wall. He cleared his throat and stood

up to tell the story.

Everyone was silent as the storyteller said

his first word of the day.

16

“My dear friends,” the storyteller said.

“Thanks for your patience. I know you all

are very eager to hear the story of my

friend ‘Bobo the Robo’. So, let me get

straight to the story. Once again you had

to wait, I am sorry. So, here we go”.

“It was a dark night by the river Yamuna.

Some of you may know that the Yamuna

River is in India.”

17

“I know India is a big country, just like the

USA, China and Australia,” said Adu.

“I have seen pictures of the world famous

Taj Mahal,” said John.

18

“That’s correct,”

said the storyteller

and he continued.

“That night,

exactly behind the

Taj Mahal landed a

flying saucer. The

saucer was like a

giant blue balloon.

It was bigger than the biggest balloon you

could ever imagine.

19

20

Some say Bobo travelled to Earth in that

flying saucer, although no one in the whole

world is very sure.”

Then the storyteller lowered his voice and

said in a low whisper.

“If you promise to keep a secret. Bobo came

from planet Octosauraus!”

21

22

To everyone’s surprise, the storyteller

picked up a guitar and started singing:

“He can fly,

He can dance,

He can count,

Any amount,

Obla Di Da

Dum Dum Dum.”

23

“He is witty,

He is funny,

He is happy,

Like a puppy,

Obla Di Da

Dum Dum Dum.”

Children sang along and clapped. They

thought the song was really funny.

24

Still strumming the guitar, the storyteller

said:

“Some say he came

from the moon.

I Say No, No, No.

Some say Jupiter.

I Say No, No, No.

25

“Some made up a

name,

Eartho-Moono-Pitter.

I Say No, No, Never!

“But B-U-T But

In the whole world

Only you and I know,

Neither Moon nor

Rome,

Octosauraus is his

home!”
