Earning Trust

The one thing that I hate a lot, is when people don't trust me. For example, when I tell the truth to someone who asks a question, they don't believe me. I get really frustrated when this happens. But I can't do anything. They made up their mind to not trust me. So I learned that you must earn their trust at a camp from 4 weeks ago... When I finally arrived at camp, I saw clumps of people together, chattering about something. They were all laughing and having fun, I felt alone. I did not know anyone, but they all seemed to know each other. The laughter died out as one by one other kids came in. I was nervous about what other kids would think of me. But I became confident when I realized we were doing Lego Mindstorms, something I have at home. Another kid had it at home too. When we were working on the project, there was one kid who popped out a bit. He did most of the building and he just made us get the pieces. I wanted to help, but he wouldn't let me. The first day passed by quickly. But that kid was still troubling me. As the second day past and the third day came, they decided to not trust me. The kid, James decided that none of my ideas would work and that he was the boss. My head boiled and exploded and boiled. The next day something inside me erupted. When I got home, I started working hard on a robot. I kept on trying and I didn't stop. The ideas that were crammed in my head were just flowing out. After many hours, I went downstairs and got the computer. I got the USB and I started programming. I ended up sleeping at 1:00. But still I slept very well. The next morning. I got my box with my robot inside and marched into the room full of the kids. I came before James on purpose. A kid in my group noticed the box and asked what was inside. Then I smiled and pulled out, The Claw Tank. My teammates' eyes grew big as I pulled out my robot. Then I picked up the remote control and pressed the power button. Then I pressed my button on the remote control and went for a test run. It went smoothly. I knew I earned their trust. But now I needed James to trust me. They were prancing around saying that we were going to win when James walked in. They scrambled over and explained that I made this amazing robot. James seemed a little grumpy when he saw it. I showed him the robot. Suddenly he sat down and started making a robot. I guessed that he was jealous. This meant I had their trust. This was all I wanted, nothing more. I didn't care if I won or lost the contest. But I did anyway.
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES.

The Ending

Ben really wondered what it needed. He asked his master, but his master said he didn't know. Then one day as Ben was walking into the workshop, he remembered something. He went to a specific tree dug in the place underneath it. Then he took the dirt and started mixing it with water and he  mixed it up. He fainted. Then he go back up and took the liquid and he put it in the robot. He  waited as the robot stood up. It walked.  Ben and his  master watched it. They turned it off and the robot fell down. Ben went to his master. Then the master said, " It is time I tell you this"  "But my name is John" Ben heard that name before. It was his-"I am your lost father.." Ben looked up. And hugged  him.

THE END

RoBoT Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Ben went outside everyday to dig more of the robot. On the fifth day of this process, he had already found its head. It wasn't a very big head, but it was a medium sized one. Perfect for that robot. By the twelfth day, he was done. There was a very deep hole. The hole was about a yard deep. The robot was laying on its back, facing up. It was broken. Ben took off the plate of metal on its belly and looked inside. Wires and gears were all over the over the place. Ben got a wrench out of his pocket and he started twisting and turning. He found broken motors. He went in the workshop to find batteries and a couple of tools. He tried to fix the robot. Then he knew he had to make a prototype first. He made a mini one. It was made out of Lego. He turned on the motors. FAIL... This time, he tried putting different gears. Again, it was a FAIL. Sadly, Ben looked at books of robots. And studied about them. He asked some help from master, not mentioning the robot he had found, but just simply asking.  Master helped him. But one day when Ben was going to the robot, master followed. Master looked at the robot and smiled. He went into his room. And went to his drawers. He opened the secret drawer and took out the sheet of paper. It said, ROBOT...
                                                                               * * *
Ben looked at the robot's gears. Something just didn't look right. He took a hammer and banged on the side of the gear. "Better," he thought. Then he pulled the switch. The motors spun around. Happily he looked at the deeper part. Then he noticed something. There was a golden shaped thing. He looked closely. A golden gear. He grabbed it. It was shiny. But it didn't belong to anywhere. But he had an idea. The robot needed a heart. A heart like a human has. There was a part sticking out in the middle of it. He stuck the golden gear on the stick thing. Suddenly, everything started to turn perfectly. The robot, lifted its arm. Master came running. Ben looked at master. Master looked at Ben, proud. Master told Ben that the robot was his invention he made when he was 23. But he had failed. The robot stood up. It was about 11 feet tall. WOw-BZZZITBZIT!!!!But the robot made a huge noise and its head fell off. What the? The robot collapsed to the floor. It needed something, something important... 

RoBoT Chap 2 (I think there is going to be about 7-10 chapters)

Chap. 2

I look at the huge hand. It's big. Big enough for a robot. It was metal. He had seen those on T.v. Ben looked 
closely. It had markings on it. Strange lines. Ben thought he had seen it somewhere... But anyway why would there be a huge hand in the middle of the forest? It was strange. Ben discovered his own footprints, which eventually led him to his master's house. Happily he came in. His master was very worried. But for some reason, Ben didn't tell master about the hand. He acted like he didn't see anything. That night, Ben had dreams about huge hands. It was weird. He woke up just when the robot grabbed him with its huge hands. Sweating, he walked and saw his master, working on the machine. Ben went outside. Luckily, master didn't ask anything about it. Ben smiled as he walked out the door, looking for the footprints....Ben soon fainted when he got there again, but he got up quicker than before. Why was it happening? Ben dug near the hand. He found a bottle. He sniffed it and fainted. Someone must of put it there to scare animals or humans off. But it seemed at least millions of years old. Ben threw the bottle out. He poured the rest of the stuff under a tree. He got back to the hand and dug more. Soon, he found an arm, a huge one, connected to the hand. His head was full of so many questions. He came back to the workshop.  And ate lunch. Ben wondered what the arm was. He thought there would be a whole robot under there.... 

The RoBoT The first few Chapters

2 Years ago....

Ben was not going to give up. He knew he had  to keep going. But it was starting to get late. Every minute he would trip over a branch. Ben was in the middle of the woods. He got kicked out of his house. His mother hated him and his father was gone. His father just disappeared. He sadly slowed down  and sat down. He put his backpack on a rock. Ben soon fell asleep. When Ben woke up, he found himself in a bed. He found his backpack on the floor. Where was he? He looked around. A voice said, "Aha, you have woken up...." Ben looked up and saw  an old man. He was friendly. He explained that he found Ben in the woods, so he put Ben into his guest bed. The man got some breakfast and they ate. The man said that he must work. Ben followed him to see what the man did. The man went into a room and Ben quietly followed him into the room. He was surprised to see so many robots of all designs. "Whoa!" the man looked at him and said, "Oh you want to see my robots?Those are nothing, wait till you see my newest creation." Ben also liked making stuff. WOW!! The man uncovered a  huge cloth of a pretty cool looking wood machine.
"It isn't finished, but I  only have to cover it."  Ben watched as the old man  did all the work. After about an hour, Ben looked at the old man and asked his name. The  old man looked at Ben and said, "You will find out soon...."  The old man asked Ben for his name and Ben  answered. Then the old man asked Ben if he liked making things. Ben nodded. They talked and finally made a  decision that Ben was  going to be an apprentice.

Chap. 1

Ben still didn't even know his master's name. And his  master didn't even finish that robot thing. But master named it the Rhino. It walked with solar panels on it. Ben was making his own robot. This was his second robot. His first was not so good.... Ben attached the metal plate on the bottom of his robot. It was called the Leopard. It ran, but it was powered by wind. The wind would blow on the special part and it would move. It was pretty simple. Ben ate lunch and then he went outside. He got a shovel and randomly dug because he was bored. Then he walked far away from the workshop. He took the shovel with him. Then when he decided to stop, he started digging. CLANK! He hit something hard. Hoping it was something awesome, Ben dug around it. The metal started to show. Then all of a sudden, everything started to fade....Ben woke up again. He looked up at the sky. It was starting to get dark. Master was probably worried. But Ben couldn't find a way back home. He remembered the metal thing and he started to dig some more. Soon he dug up a huge metal thing. It was shaped as a hand...
