NAME:

Ivo's robot vacuum

Monkey Ivo is elated! He ordered a special machine last week. She has just arrived.
– I don't like vacuuming at all! - He takes the machine out of the box and puts it on the floor.
“I'd better read the instructions,” he says wisely.
“This is going to be a piece of cake!” he thinks, when he's finished reading.
Ivo turns on the machine and it roars and spins for a few seconds. Then it starts to move.

When it hits the leg of a table, it steps back, turns a little, and goes forward until it hits something else.
- Wow! This works! A real robot that vacuums dust! He'll do all the work for me! – Ivo gets carried away.
The little robot vacuum is snoring and wandering around the room, vacuuming all the dust. Suddenly, he swallows one of Ivo's dirty socks.
- Stop! Stop! This is my sock! – Ivo complains.
The robot keeps walking and swallowing the other sock.
– Hey, give it back! It's mine! Ivo screams.
He wants to turn off the robot, but he hasn't read that part of the manual.
The robot keeps moving and sucks Ivo's manual, glasses and a coin. In addition to the powder.
– I can't turn you off! – Ivo whimpers.
– I'll have to wait until the battery runs out!
Ivo opens the back door and sends the robot out, towards the door.
- Help yourself. Hope you like salad! he exclaims, shaking his head.
