The Evil Scientist and the Robot


by Thilo

The desert was empty except for a solitary warehouse. It stood alone on the sand dunes which shifted whenever the wind howled and whistled.

Inside the shed there was an evil scientist who had built a malevolent robot. This robot had to pollute the earth’s air. To achieve this, the scientist had put dangerous chemicals into the robot.

Each night the massive robot walked on his six legs to reach a major city by dawn. As the sun came up and the people came out of their houses the poisonous smoke would blow out of the robot’s chimney.

The people were very worried about the robot!! The world leaders had serious meetings. They tried to bomb the robot, but it was indestructible. And also, it was impossible to to find out where the robot would go to next. Because first it went to America and then to Russia.

One day, as the robot went back to the warehouse for more chemicals, the evil scientist stood in front of the door. As the robot came over the overjoyed man shouted
“ You are on the news! You did very well! Come in!”
When the robot entered the door the shed darkened as the robot filled the whole door.

The scientist asked “How many people did you actually kill?”
“Five million” replied the robot.

More chemicals were put into the robot. Suddenly the scientist wheezed “ Oh no! The polluter!!”

Next day, in the newspaper Robot switched off was the front page title. And,  Controller killed himself was the subtitle.

Now the robot has been trained to help the police catch the criminals.
