A boy, Ben, and his robot friend, Moby, eat snacks and drink soda while they watch TV in the living room. Ben changes channels with the remote control and Moby yawns.
BEN: Moby, let's go outside.
The view from the window shows a sunny day.
BEN: Let's go for a bike ride.
Moby nods his head "yes."
MOBY: Beep.
Ben and Moby are outside with bikes. Moby pumps air into the back tire of his bike, then adjusts his helmet.
BEN: Are you ready?
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: Let's go!
They ride their bikes on the sidewalk in their neighborhood. Then they ride through the streets of a city.
BEN: It's great outside.
MOBY: Beep.
Two people cross in the middle of the street in front of Moby. Moby rings his bell but they keep walking. He brakes hard, skids, and stops. He looks upset.
MOBY: Beep.
Ben stops his bike and looks at Moby.
BEN: Moby, be careful!
They continue to ride their bikes.
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: Yes, I know.
They stop at a red light.
BEN: You're right.
There are many people walking around.
BEN: There are too many people here.
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: Yes. There aren't any trees, and there aren't any flowers. Let's ride to the park.
Moby nods his head "yes." They ride their bikes out of the city and into the park.
MOBY: Beep.
Moby rides up to Ben and looks at him.
BEN: Yes, I like it here too.
They ride on the path through the park. They pass trees, flowers, and grass.
BEN: Look at the trees and the flowers.
They get off their bikes. They walk with their bikes.
BEN: There are lots of pretty flowers.
Loud children playing with balls and balloons run past them.
MOBY: Beep!
They walk past someone holding a baby and shaking a toy at a crying child.
BEN: You're right again. There are noisy children and babies here too.
Moby looks annoyed. He looks at Ben.
MOBY: Beep.
Ben pictures a zebra, an elephant, and a giraffe in a zoo.
BEN: Let's ride to the zoo.
They ride their bikes through the park to the zoo. There is an elephant looking over a wall at the zoo's entrance. There's a giraffe standing behind the elephant. A sign over the entrance says "Zoo." Birds chirp as Ben and Moby walk into the zoo. They pass a bear sleeping in a cage.
BEN: It is quiet here.
They see signs with arrows to different animals. Each arrow has the picture of an animal on it.
BEN: There are so many animals, but there aren't any people.
MOBY: Beep.
Ben and Moby sit on a bench. Some children are playing in front of them. Ben points to them and counts.
BEN: There are four girls and two boys.
The girls bounce a beach ball. The boys play with a balloon.
BEN: They're friends.
Moby looks at the kids and one of the boys smiles at him.
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: But Moby, they're busy. They're playing.
Moby smiles and points at two women sitting on a bench.
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: Yes, there are two women.
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: But Moby, they're busy, too.
The women are sitting on the bench next to three men.
BEN: They're talking to three men.
Moby puts his hand up to shade his eyes and looks at something. He zips away. Ben is sitting alone on the bench.
BEN: Moby?
Moby looks at two monkeys inside a cage. They look back at him. A sign on the cage reads, "Don't Touch the Animals!" Moby sticks his finger out and one of the monkeys touches it. Ben runs over to Moby and pulls Moby's hand back.
BEN: Moby, be careful!
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: Don't touch the animals!
MOBY: Beep.
Ben and Moby sit on the bench. Moby looks annoyed and bored. Ben also looks bored.
BEN: There's nothing to do here. There's nothing to eat.
Moby frowns and his stomach growls. They both picture a pizza. The image pops and disappears. Moby frowns.
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: Let's go home.
They ride their bikes home. Ben and Moby sit on the couch. They watch TV and drink soda. There are lots of food and snacks on the table.
BEN: Oh, it's so good at home.
Moby slurps on a soda.
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: It's quiet here. There aren't any noisy children.
There is food on the table. There are cookies, sandwiches, fruit, cake, popcorn, pizza, and soda.
BEN: There's lots of food! It's great!
Ben and Moby eat the food.
MOBY: Beep.
They watch the TV. It shows children at the zoo.
BEN: Hey, Moby, look at the children at the zoo!
The TV shows the elephant, giraffe, and monkeys at the zoo.
BEN: Look at the animals.
They see the signs with arrows. They see an elephant in its cage.
BEN: There are many big animals in the zoo.
There are rabbits hopping on grass.
MOBY: Beep.
BEN: Yes, and some small animals too.
The TV shows smiling people.
BEN: The people look so happy.
Two girls are looking at the monkeys. Then two boys run by with a balloon and two girls bouncing a ball.
BEN: Some children are looking at the animals and some are playing with friends.
Ben looks at Moby.
BEN: Moby, why are we always at home?
Moby shrugs.
MOBY: Beep.
The view through the window shows it is getting dark outside.
BEN: Let's go outside.
Moby turns and looks at Ben.
BEN: Let's go for a bike ride.
Moby puts on his helmet and gives Ben a thumbs up.
MOBY: Beep.
