SAMPLE
Once there was a very small duck with a very loud quack. So they called him Quackling.
Now, Quackling was clever and he worked hard, so he saved up a good deal of money. In fact, he saved up so much that the King himself came to borrow some.
Quackling was proud to loan his money to the King. But a year went by, then two, then three, and the King never paid him back.
"I've waited long enough," said Quackling. So he took a sack for the money, and he started for the castle, calling,
"Quack Quack Quack I want my money back "
Before long, he came upon a ladder leaning against a wall.
"Where are you going, Quackling?" said Ladder.
"To the King for my money," said Quackling.
"To the King " said Ladder. "How wonderful Will you take me with you?"
"Why not?" said Quackling. "One can never have too many friends." And he called out,
"Quack Quack Quack Ladder into sack "
Quick as you can blink, Ladder was in the sack. Then Quackling walked on, calling,
"Quack Quack Quack I want my money back "

Timothy Tolliver and his friend Arnie Rosenberg have a problem -- a gang of older bullies called the Stinks. But besides being a fourth-grader, Timothy is also a world-class inventor. He and Arnie get the bright idea of defending themselves with Timothy's science-project robot.
When their first try fails, Timothy finds a way to update the mystical formulas that gave life to the Jewish clay monster, the Golem. The robot comes alive, and it looks like their worries are over -- till the robot stops following orders and takes matters into its own hands.
Can Timothy bring his creation back under control? Find out, as the Golem legend replays in a modern American elementary school.

SAMPLE
Arnie walked all around the robot, admiring it. "You know what this reminds me of? The Golem."
"The Golem?" said Timothy. "What's that?"
"It's from an old legend we heard in Hebrew school. A few hundred years ago, a lot of Jews in Europe were getting killed by mobs, all because of some stupid rumors started by their enemies. This one rabbi wanted to protect the Jews of his city, so he made a man of clay and brought it to life. It was so strong, nothing could stand against it. They called it the Golem."
"Kind of like Frankenstein?" said Timothy.
"Yeah, but the Golem came first, and that was probably where the idea for Frankenstein came from." Arnie grinned. "Wouldn't it be cool if this robot could protect us from the Stinks, like the Golem protected the Jews?"
Timothy grinned too. Then they both stopped grinning and looked at each other.
"You don't think . . . ." started Arnie.
"I don't know," said Timothy. "I don't see why not."
"I'm quick and smart as I can be. Try and try, but you can't catch me "

Then he heard something. ROWR
There was Tiger
"Hello, Mouse Deer. I was just getting hungry. Now you can be my lunch."
Mouse Deer didn't want to be lunch. He looked around and thought fast. He saw a mud puddle.
"I'm sorry, Tiger. I can't be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his pudding."
"His pudding?" said Tiger.
"Yes. There it is." Mouse Deer pointed to the mud puddle. "It has the best taste in the world. The King doesn't want anyone else to eat it."
Tiger looked longingly at the puddle. "I would like to taste the King's pudding."
