"We are going to send a space shuttle up to Mars to rescue your Mighty Robot," said the general. "He is our only hope."

"Hooray!" cried Ricky. "And we need you to come with us, Ricky," said the general. "You know that Robot better than anybody."

"Can I go?" Ricky asked his parents. "Pleeeeease?" "Well," said Ricky's father, "all right. But you must promise to be careful!" "Hooray!" cried Ricky.
