Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a lonely boy named Benny. Benny had no siblings and found it hard to make friends. His room was filled with books and little gadgets. One evening, Benny got an idea. He wanted to build a robot friend!

Benny started collecting old cans, wires, and anything shiny. He worked hard every day after school. With every piece he added, his robot started to look more like a real friend. Benny decided to name his robot Sparky, because of the way it lit up his room and his smile.

Finally, after weeks of work, Sparky was complete! With a push of a button, the robot buzzed to life. 'Hello, Benny! I am Sparky, your friend,' the robot said in a cheerful, beeping voice. Benny couldn't believe it. He had created a friend who could talk and play!

Benny and Sparky started doing everything together. They read books, played hide and seek, and even made funny gadgets. But most of all, they loved to tell each other stories. Benny would make up wild tales, and Sparky would create light shows to match them.

One sunny afternoon, Benny took Sparky to the park. While playing catch, some other kids became curious and came over. 'Wow! Did you make that robot?' they asked. 'Yes, I did!' Benny replied proudly. The kids were amazed and wanted to play too. Sparky was the star of the day!

As the days went by, Benny made new human friends, but he never forgot that Sparky was his first real pal. He would introduce all his friends to Sparky, who would entertain them with jokes and dance moves. Sparky helped Benny understand that by sharing his talents, he could make even more friends.

Every night, before going to bed, Benny would thank Sparky. 'Goodnight, Sparky. You showed me that I was never really alone,' Benny would say. Sparky would beep happily in return. And Benny fell asleep with the biggest smile, because he knew that with Sparky, every day was an adventure waiting to happen.
