The Robot Maker, Page 9

He had to start making robots. He was not terribly good at assembling things so this robot making thing would be a challenge. Stetson also had no patience for reading direction either.

So he decided to put off making robots for another day and try something new. Go to the computer city beach. He did not like to go out into the sun because he got a sun burn easily. But, since it was the weekend and Stetson was on a doing new things kick he would take a risk but, wear plenty of sun tan lotion. He set out to the computer city beach with lots of suntan lotion and a towel and swim trunks. It was a mild day with a good breeze going witch made the walk to the beach pleasant.

Stetson paid the admission fee and went onto the beach to find a place to put down his towel so he could relax in the sun. The day was getting warmer and warmer. He found a spot on the beach to sit. He brought alone a book to read at the beach since he did not know if he wanted to go into the water or sit there all day and look at the sand and the waves. He was not sure if he would like that so he brought alone a beach read.

There were surfers in the waves and he was interested to see how surfing worked since he had never had much knowledge about the sport. And there were also sea gals flying around the water looking for food. Stetson decided to get up and walk into the water just a little. He went to the edge of the water. He went into the water and he was surprised by how cold the water was. He had never felt the water of the beach on his feet and it felt great. After a few minutes of that he decided to go sit back down on his beach towel and read his book.

The book was called The Man who wanted to work by Sid Thomas. It was a novel about a fictional character named Daniel Thornton a man who wanted to try every job he could before he died. It was the second novel of a three novel series and this novel saw Daniel Thornton go on a fifty-two week goal of working a different job each week for a year. It was a tough challenge according to Daniel Thornton but, he thought it could be done and would be done if he worked hard enough and Sid was going to make it happen since it was his novel and he could make his character accomplish super human feats of accomplishment.

The book was too long for Stetson to finish reading at the beach but, he could get a huge chunk of the book finished and the was ok with Stetson.
