📖 Reading

My name is Anna, and I want to tell you about my new friend, Max. He is a robot! Max is small and blue, and he lives on my desk. He can talk, and he can answer questions. Every morning, I ask Max a question. 'What time is it?' I say. Max looks at his little screen and tells me the time. He is never wrong! I also ask him, 'How are you today?' and he always says, 'I am happy!' Max is very clever. He knows a lot of things. When I ask, 'Where is my pencil?' he can find it under my books. When I ask, 'Who is at the door?' he can see with his camera eyes and tell me the name of my visitor. My favorite question is 'Why do you like blue?' Max always laughs a little and says, 'Because blue is the color of the sky!' I think Max is a wonderful friend, and I am happy to have him in my room. Tomorrow, my friend Leo wants to meet Max. Leo has a lot of questions, too. He wants to ask Max, 'How old are you?' and 'What can you do?' I think Max will enjoy his new friend.
