There was once a quick-witted teenager who had a powerful brain, and studying marine animals was his passion.  His name was Alan.  

Hi guys! My name is Alan.

A bright idea lit up in his mind and got to work making an underwater robot that was capable of identifying different sea creatures or sea monsters or whatever else that might be lurking under the sea.  Alan spent 36 whole hours toiling day and night and finally, ‘HURRAY!’ he exclaimed.  He had finished it and named it Dome. 

Finally, the much anticipated day came for him to test out his incredible underwater machine.  He huffed and puffed as he pushed his robot all the way to the bay.  With a small shove and a gigantic SPLASH!  When Dome was fully submerged.  “YEAH!” Alan cheered! 

HELLO! I AM DOME.

Time for the try out, my sweet sweet Dome!

Immediately, the robot got to work and began using his advanced and high-tech programme to analyse all sorts of things underwater. SNAP!  He found a deep sea creature that no one had found before in England.  Alan nearly fell over backwards when the flood of pictures relayed back to his gigantic computer screen back at home. But he kept this as a picture and did not share it with the world. 

However, a few days later, in the middle of the night, a horrible, horrible thing happened.  A gigantic Great White Shark swam towards it and chomped on its head, then tore off its arms and then its legs.

“OH NO!  I AM DROWNING!!!

“OH NO! I AM DROWNING,” cried the robot as each of its limbs separated and drifted off in different directions. It was too bad that Alan was offline, too busy snoozing the night away when the accident happened. 

But when Alan bounced out of bed the next day and couldn’t locate his robot he  screamed, “My sweet, sweet robot! Where have you gone?”  With a heart full of determination, he decided to set sail across the Pacific Ocean in the scorching heat and lashing rain.  It was a difficult voyage, but still, he refused to give up.

One splendid morning, he spied a pod of dolphins arching across the horizon.  Alan let out a high-pitched whistle and they made their way towards his yacht. 

“Pretty please dolphins, could you help me?  I’ve lost my underwater robot and I think he’s grave trouble. Could you dive down deep into the ocean to see whether he’s around?”

The dolphins are cute and friendly, and they saw what happened last night about the robot and  know the robot’s owner is him.  So they decided to help Alan.

When Dome came to life, Alan cried tears of joy and gave him a warm hug. Had a wonderful surprise - even though he was torn to a million pieces, he was still able to take snapshots of never discovered before species … AND to Alan’s great surprise, Dome  even found a mermaid.  She looks like a creature with a tail and she was swimming across the harbour.

The entire world was so captivated and mesmerised by Alan’s invention that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics! And for his great show of friendship, not giving up on locating Dome remains, he even won the Nobel Peace Prize.  From that day on, humans and robots lived peacefully side by side.
