"Let's go for a walk," says the computer and it goes down the stairs and out of the front door. George follows him.
"Where are we going?" asks George.
"To find a friend," says the computer. It walks along the road, turns left and goes into the High Street. It stops outside the television shop.
"No good!" it says and laughs at the televisions.

The computer runs along the road. Its metal legs run faster and faster. It goes past the post office and the bank and into the library. In the library there are lots of books - and lots of computers. The crazy computer goes into the room full of computers. There is a boy sitting there, doing his homework.
"Hello," says the boy, "I'm Tommy."
Tommy looks at the crazy computer.
"What's this?" he cries, "a computer with arms and legs?"
"It's my computer," says George. "He's gone crazy - eating pizza and running around!"
