Dans la classe de sciences, les élèves ont construit un petit robot nommé Bibi. Bibi pouvait avancer, tourner et dire bonjour avec une voix métallique. Le professeur était très fier.
Le jour de la présentation, Bibi a traversé la table et s’est arrêté devant le cartable de Noé. Tout à coup, il a aspiré une feuille de devoirs. La classe a crié, puis a éclaté de rire. Noé, lui, était ravi : ses exercices de maths avaient disparu.
Mais Bibi n’avait pas faim de papier. Un câble était coincé dans sa roue, et la feuille l’avait bloqué encore plus. Noé a réparé le robot et a dû refaire ses devoirs. Bibi a reçu une nouvelle règle : dans la classe, il peut dire bonjour, mais il ne peut pas manger les mathématiques.

In science class, the students built a small robot named Bibi. Bibi could move forward, turn, and say hello in a metallic voice. The teacher was very proud.
On the day of the presentation, Bibi crossed the table and stopped in front of Noé’s schoolbag. Suddenly, it sucked up a sheet of homework. The class shouted, then burst out laughing. Noé was delighted: his math exercises had disappeared.
But Bibi was not hungry for paper. A cable was stuck in its wheel, and the sheet had blocked it even more. Noé repaired the robot and had to do his homework again. Bibi received a new rule: in class, it can say hello, but it cannot eat mathematics.
