<em>Mother Goose's New Tales for Traveling Children - &quot;The Lonely Little Girl and the Space Unicorn&quot;</em>

Chapter 1

Once upon a time there lived a little girl in a small red shack on the edge of a green valley on a binary supra-orbital cluster moon.

She lived all by herself on the binary supra-orbital cluster moon. Her only company was a Drudge-12 model bosonic automaton named Jeeves. He was very clumsy.

&quot;Ooops!,&quot; Jeeves would say, as he knocked over the girls cereal, or poked a hole in her socks while darning them, or tripped over her bed. &quot;Ooops! Does not compute!&quot;

&quot;Jeeves, you are a very clumsy automaton,&quot; the little girl would say, and Jeeves would hang his metal head in shame.

The little girl would often walk around the binary supra-orbital cluster moon, running her hands over the tall green space grass that grew in the lonely green valley.

&quot;Jeeves,&quot; said the little girl, &quot;Can you build me a friend?&quot;

Jeeves shook his head with a clank and a clang. &quot;Ooops! I am sorry. I am not equipped for that. Does not compute. But <em>I</em> will be your friend.&quot;

&quot;Silly Jeeves,&quot; said the little girl. &quot;How could we ever be friends? Automatons don't have souls!&quot;

The little girl was very sad. She wanted a friend very badly.
