Rose came to me. Tears were streaking down her face. I was surprised. She had just left just a minute ago to play with her friends.
I asked, "What happened Rose? Why are your crying? Did you fall ?"
"No papa, there is a dog outside. And it is growling. It is not like normal dog. It is different from the street dogs. "
I chuckled,"I should hope so. I made it."
"You made it ? Papa dogs are borne as puppies and not made. And it growls."
"Rose its not a real dog. Its a robot.I had told the center to deliver it. But was it supposed to arrive today ? I must have forgotten the date.I told you I was making a friend for you. It is that friend. But why was it growling? It should have recognized you. It must be reacting to something else. Don't worryRose. It wont hurt you."
Suddenly the phone rang. I wondered, "You go Rose. This must be centercalling to confirm the delivery."
I picked up the phone but nobody spoke. There was only heavy breathing sounds. I was about to drop the phone when Rose shrieks pierced the air.
