Zim, I have a question: why do we LAUGH or CRY? What makes us do it? L A B
It is your EMOTIONS, Zam, that make you laugh or cry. Actually, I’ve built a robot to explain “emotions”…
What…? A ROBOT?! What about me?
Huh! I can show you what emotions are!
I’m very happy to meet you!
This is ‘OK-1’. I built him with the ability to demonstrate emotions and feelings.
Oh no… What’s going on?
Hello OK-1!
?!
Hmmm. Let’s see what’s wrong...
Stupid robot! They always break down.
I’m very sad to hear that, ha ha ha ha!
Somone crossed OK-1’s wires!!!

Great, I’m pleased you are fixed OK-1! Now you can communicate your feelings like humans do.

Humph! That’s basic. There are so many more emotions and different ways to show them.
Don’t be silly Zoom, you can’t be jealous of a robot!!

Inside Me Illustration by: Kate Hindley Story re-told by Gabby Dawnay, from a traditional Cherokee tale
Once upon a time, a young wolf cub sat down with his grandfather for a chat about life and such things. “Did you know,” the grandfather began, “that there are two wolves fighting a battle inside all of us?” The small wolf’s eyes widened as he shook his head. “One wolf is angry and jealous,” went on the grandfather wolf, “he is selfish and mean; cruel and unkind and spiteful. The other wolf is gentle and patient. He is generous and loving, brave and truthful and wise.” The cub was curious and a little frightened as he asked, “But which wolf will win the battle?” “Whichever one you feed, of course!” replied his grandfather.
re dw olf
Can you think of things you do that feed the gentle wolf? Can you think of things you do that feed the angry wolf?
