After a short wait, it was finally the turn of the green robozoom. He waited for a worker robot with squeaky tracks to cross from the other side before he set off. He was almost halfway across when suddenly a yellow robozoom cut in front of the others and instead of waiting for his green colleague, start out. They met in the middle of the bridge.
When the green robozoom recognized the other one, his processor stopped for a moment in fear. It was the same yellow robozoom he had collided with in the accident!
"Please, go back, I was already on the bridge when you set off," he said and tried to remain calm.
"Nice to see you too, old robozoom," the yellow one grinned. "Or should I say, old limping robozoom?"
The green one felt anger rising inside him, but held it back.
"Please, just go back..."
"Listen, limping one, I'm definitely not going to back down, so turn around and hover back, or else I'll push you off the bridge into the creek. You know I can do it!"
The robots on both sides of the bridge were shocked by such impertinence. The green robozoom, not having much of a choice, slowly turned around and went back to where he had started. The yellow one followed him triumphantly. When they reached the bridgehead, the yellow robozoom shouted at the green one.
"This is what happens when you confront a yellow robozoom!" he sneered, and hurried off in satisfaction.
