     Beep …beep … There went the bell! Robbie opened his eyes. He had been sitting in the room
for a whole day, and now it was time for him to do something.
     Robbie looked out of the window. It was still snowing heavily and there was ice on the window. It
was another cold day. Robbie was told to turn the heat on before the family got home. And he did it.
     Then Robbie was told to do some cleaning work at once. It was an easy job for him, but a tough
one for his master, Helen. He kept on working until every room was clean and tidy.
      For now, he had to cook supper for the family.
     The first thing Robbie did was to get the big pot(鍋) in the kitchen. Then he put some water in the
pot and put it on the stove. He used one of his hands to cut up a chicken and added the pieces to the
water to make a good soup. Then he got some tomatoes, cabbages and carrots to make a vegetable
salad.
     At ten past eight he laid the table. Then he put some bread, the chicken soup and the salad on it.
What a sweet smell! The moment he turned on the lights, the whole family came home.
     "The soup smells great, Victor," said Helen. "You really know how to tell Robbie what to do."
Robbie is one robot that really saves the family a lot of work.
