5. Growing Up with Moyo
"Happy Birthday Harit!"
Harit opened his eyes. Again he heard someone say,
"Happy Birthday!" Harit jumped out of bed. Today was
his birthday and he had turned four!
As he hugged his parents, his eyes fell on a big parcel
wrapped in shiny blue and red paper. He jumped back
on to the bed and opened it.
The moment Harit saw what it was, he began shouting
and clapping his hands with joy. He hugged his parents
again and then hugged his new gift - Moyo!

7. Moyo was a large robot, nearly as tall as Harit. It could
walk, talk and turn around. Excitedly, Harit asked the
robot, "How are you, Moyo?" The robot answered, "I
am great. How are you?" Then Harit questioned, "Who
is your best friend Moyo?" The robot laughed and
replied, "Hee-Hee! It is you!" Harit was thrilled! He
had found a new friend.
Every few minutes Harit would say, "Walk Moyo" and
the robot would say, "Moyo is walking." He would put
one foot forward, rest the foot down, lift the other
foot and place it ahead. This would go on and on till
Harit would say, "Stop! Now turn Moyo!" and the robot
would say, "T-t-turning—T-t-turning!"
8. When Moyo would turn
around, Harit would be super
excited. Harit loved his new
toy and spent a lot of time
playing with it.
But slowly, he began getting
bored of it, and Moyo started
gathering dust. His parents
decided to put the robot
away in an old toy trunk.
9. Years passed. Suddenly, one day Harit remembered
Moyo. He opened his toy trunk and began looking for
his robot, but it was nowhere to be seen. He asked his
mother, "Mom, do you know where my Moyo is?"
"It is in the toy trunk Harit," said his mom. She took
him to the trunk and pulled out the robot.
10. Harit was shocked to see the
robot. "What? Is this Moyo?"
he asked. He ran back to his
room holding the robot to
check with the picture hanging
on the wall. Yes indeed, it was
Moyo.
"I remember Moyo as a large
robot but this is...," he
mumbled all confused. His
mother lovingly patted his back
and said, "Well, it has been a
long time Harit. While Moyo
has remained the same, it's you
who has grown taller and
bigger!“
