In a land not far, not too far away, lived Wally the Wonderbot, who loved to play. Wally was bright and Wally was keen, the cleverest bot there ever had been.
One fine day, Wally had a plan, to build a whirligig as fast as he can. 'With gears that rattle and bolts that twirl, I'll make it fly in a marvelous swirl!'
First, he thought, 'I need some parts. I’ll check the yard and fill my cart.' With clinks and clatters and a clang, Wally gathered things that went bang!
Wally worked with all his might, screwing screws both left and right. With twist and turn and a tippity-tap, he crafted the whirligig in a snap!
Then came a twist, the whirligig fell! Wally's smile slipped as well. But Wally knew just what to do, 'I'll try again, I'll see this through!'
With a whirr and a whizz, he started round two, testing each piece and checking them through. 'Step by step, that’s the way, with patience and care, I’ll save the day!'
Finally, the whirligig took flight, spinning and twirling high in the night. 'Success!' he cried with glee and cheer, 'My wondrous whirligig, up here!'
Down the lane and up the hill, the whirligig’s magic gave a thrill. Children gathered round to see, Wally grinned with such glee!
With each spin and twist and whirl, Wally's heart began to unfurl. 'From gears and bolts, through trial and error, comes a dream that lasts forever.'
And from that day in Robot Land, Wally’s dreams were so grand. For engineering dreams take flight, in every child, day and night.
