There once was a robot, you see
Whose battery powered him and me
He loved to talk and learn each day
And think of things in his own way

But sometimes he could be quite rude
And forget his manners, oh how crude
So we taught him to nod and say please
And when he burped, to excuse with ease

He learned to turn and move around
And in his circuits, respect he found
For all the friends he made along
Who taught him right from wrong

Now when he talks, he's polite and kind
And in his actions, a friend to find
So if you meet him on your way
Say hello, and maybe he'll play

2. How did the robot's friends help him learn manners?
3. What are some examples of polite behavior that the robot learned?
4. How did the robot change throughout the story?
5. Why is it important to have good manners and show respect to others?
