Note: Every Wednesday, Jackson must write each of his word study words three times. To make this more interesting, I have gotten into the habit of reading the words in the form of a RoboHen story. Jackson wants to record those stories on this blog; these are the work of me, his mother. All others are his own.
One summer, RoboHen received an unexpected present from his mother. She came to his lair with a box that contained a tiny, mewing striped kitten and a cute roly-poly puppy. They both seemed happy, but they needed a home. RoboHen opened the box and instantly was drawn to the feisty kitten, who was trying to claw its way up the sides. RoboHen's mom knew that her son would give the little creature a home, so she handed it over and headed off to find a companion for the puppy.
As soon as she had gone, RoboHen tried to feed the kitten a can of cat food for supper. The pretty orange ball of fur refused to eat the food, but scampered out the window and caught its own meal - a rabbit! It was a giant rabbit... RoboHen measured it with a ruler, and it was more than a foot long! The stripy kitten was a very contented diner, greedily devouring its prey. "Well, hello, kitten," thought RoboHen. "You can catch your own dinner from now on." RoboHen named his new pet T-Rex because of its appetite, and they had a super summer together, getting up to all sorts of mischief. Once they had to apologize to the owner of the candy store because RoboHen put a penny in the machine for a gumball, and T-Rex got so excited that he knocked the whole machine over and made a big mess. Later he wrote a letter to the store owner, telling him that he would control his pet better in the future. RoboHen learned his lesson and did not take T-Rex into any more stores.
It was a crazy summer, but it was fun. Imagine RoboHen's surprise when he realized that his beloved kitten wasn't a kitten at all. It was almost September when his friend the zookeeper, who had heard stories about all the mayhem that T-Rex was causing, came to visit. "Oh, no!" said the zookeeper. "That's not a kitten! What you have, RoboHen, is a young TIGER!" He handed RoboHen a piece of paper with directions to the zoo, and told him that he could visit T-Rex anytime, but that it was time for him to live with other tigers. RoboHen was sad, but he knew that it was for the best, and he promised T-Rex that he would come visit every Saturday. And he did.

RoboHen Steals the Grand Birthday Trophy
When Yoda tried to defeat RoboHen in the grand birthday tournament when Sadie turned 18, Yoda won! But then RoboHen grabbed the trophy and ran to his getaway jet. Yoda ran to try to catch RoboHen, but RoboHen used his grappling hook to get right onto the plane. Yoda tried to use the Force to cut a hole in the rope, but the rope was too tough.
Then once RoboHen got in the getaway jet, he tried to speed away. Then Yoda got on his giant trampoline and bounced all the way up to the jet. As soon as he got up there, he hung onto a handlebar and managed to use his light saber to cut a hole in the engine room. Then Yoda climbed into the engine room and he used his light saber to destroy the engine, but then RoboHen cleverly transformed the getaway jet into a getaway helicopter, and the engine room turned into a jail cell. Then Yoda decided to use his light saber to destroy the rope that was attaching the jail cell to the helicopter.
When the jail cell landed, Yoda got another one of his giant trampolines and bounded right back up. This time he grabbed onto the roof of the helicopter, and then he quickly used his light saber to break one of the propellers, and that accidentally sent the helicopter straight for Yoda's secret base. Then Yoda quickly cut a hole in the roof of the helicopter with his light saber, and jumped down into the cockpit and knocked RoboHen out of his seat. Then Yoda jumped right into the chair and he tried to make the helicopter move away from his secret base, but RoboHen found a way to sneak into the engine room of the helicopter and tried to break the controls from the engine room. Since Yoda could not control the helicopter, right when it was about to strike his secret base, RoboHen's mom and Sadie came to the rescue! They flew in the tree jet, which bumped into the helicopter and changed the helicopter's direction. So instead of hitting Yoda's secret base, it hit RoboHen's secret base. Yoda hopped right out of the helicopter and ran straight to RoboHen's secret base. Since he thought it was his secret base, he ran to what he thought was his control room and got four golden keys, but they were really the keys to RoboHen's ultimate power box.
Since the controls to RoboHen's ultimate power box were exactly the same as the ones for Yoda's secret control room, Yoda started to unlock the power box, but just then RoboHen flew right in on his hang glider. He quickly flew his hang glider right into the trap room and then he took all three energy bolts. Then he ran straight up the ladder to the ultimate power box and tried to throw the energy bolts right at the very tippy top of the ladder where the secret exit was, but when they accidentally hit the secret exit, Yoda's mom came in!
Yoda's mom and Yoda knocked RoboHen off the ladder for good.
[To be continued...]
But then right when Yoda was about to throw the three energy bolts back onto the power box and escape from the secret exit, then RoboHen's mischievous brother and sister came in, and they threw their energy bolts right at Yoda and Yoda's mom. Luckily, they were able to deflect the energy bolts right at the power box, and then RoboHen's mom grabbed the energy bolts again. Yoda and his mom used the Force to push RoboHen and his mischievous brothers and sisters out of the room. RoboHen's mom then turned off the power box. The two moms escaped to the secret exit.
