Robert Rabbit loved video games. He played cyber ball, cyber frisbee, cyber hopscotch, cyber treasure hunt and cyber hide and seek.
Pictures show him playing all day long, 7 days a week. He even forgets to eat!
…he turned into ROBOT RABBIT!
The monitor has taken the place of Robert Rabbit’s face. It shows his features, the games screen, funny symbols, and is also used to communicate (instead of speech bubbles), etc.
Bump! Whack! Ouch! Clank! Bong! Whirr! Creak! etc. appear on the monitor. Robert Rabbit hops like a robot. His eyes are red spirals on the screen. The screen also shows Robert Rabbit’s memories/wish to play real games with his friends.
His friend Rosie came running. “Are you alright, Robert Rabbit?” “I can’t get this off! (the monitor). My head’s spinning and I have pins and needles!” “Come and sit with us in the park!” said Rosie.
Robot Rabbit liked feeling the grass under his feet and the sunshine on his back. He cheered while his friends played and he even tossed the ball twice.
The monitor is gradually discarded.
Robert Rabbit loves gaming so much, he doesn’t play in the park anymore. He sits for hours in front of a screen until one day… …he turns into a robot! Will he become a real rabbit again or is he forever stuck in cyberspace?
