When Emily feels mad, Roly Robot helps her shake off that angry energy. Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:36 Robot Dance Party Excerpt: Sunlight spilled into the cozy living room where Roly the robot rested on her charging pad. The little robot felt her energy restored, ready for a day of fun and learning. She hoped to play with Billy and Emily today.  Roly had been learning so much from them, and each day brought new adventures. But she knew the kids were busy with school lately, especially Billy, since he was older and had more work to do. The living room was quiet, with only the distant sounds of birds chirping outside the window. Then suddenly, Roly heard a door slam, breaking the peace. Startled, the little robot watched as Emily stormed into the room, her footsteps heavy and her face scrunched up in a way that Roly hadn’t seen before.
