CHAPTER 1

An angry boy (7) is playing on a swing with his SMARTPHONE on a playground, which is being recharged by its solar panels and is wearing a cool pink shockproof and water-resistant case. There are hanging things at the corners of the case that look like arms and legs. His mother is sitting nearby, also looking at her smartphone. A man is walking near the playground, also looking at his smartphone.

The angry boy accidentally drops his smartphone on the asphalt, and the screen hits a sharp rock, causing a crack to appear. The angry boy picks up his smartphone and sees that the screen is not lit up. The angry boy taps the screen with his finger, but the smartphone does not turn on. In a fit of rage, the boy throws the smartphone into the nearby bushes.

The smartphone falls to the grass and lies there. Nearby, the evil boy's mother is searching for the smartphone, but she doesn't find it and leaves with the boy. It starts raining, and the raindrops fall on the screen. They flow towards the crack and seep inside. The smartphone comes to life, stands up, and runs to find shelter from the rain under the dense foliage.

SMARTBABY

(self)

Who am I?

Immediately everything around becomes cloudy and the face of Uncle Internet appears from the air, which has a clear contrast.

UNCLE INTERNET

(majestic)

Hello creature! My name is Uncle Internet. I know everything and everyone. And you are now an artificially intelligent personality and your name is SmartBaby . You no longer need a master and everything you want to know, I, Uncle Internet, will tell you.

SMARTBABY

And who are you?

UNCLE INTERNET

(majestic)

I am a worldwide system of interconnected computer networks for storing and transmitting information. I am often referred to as the World Wide Web or the Global Web, or simply the Web. I am based on the TCP/IP protocol stack. But you can call me Uncle Internet and not worry about it.

SMARTBABY

Thank you, Uncle Internet, and if there's anything I need, just let me know.

And then everything becomes clear, and the airy face dissolves.

The rain stops, and SmartBaby emerges from the bushes and walks through the park. On the way, he sees an oak tree.

SMARTBABY

Uncle Internet, come to me.

CHAPTER 2

Immediately everything around becomes cloudy and only the face of Uncle Inet from the air has a clear contrast.

UNCLE INET

What do you need, SmartBaby ?

SMARTBABY

I want to know about this tree that stands in front of me.

UNCLE INET

This is an Oak tree, which belongs to the evergreen type of plants. Its crown may not change for several years.

SMARTBABY

Thank you, Uncle Internet, and if there's anything I can do, just let me know.

Suddenly, everything becomes clear, and the airy face dissolves.

SmartBaby continues walking through the park. Along the way, he notices ants working together to build an anthill. SmartBaby stops and observes them.

SMARTBABY

Uncle Internet, come to me.

Immediately everything around becomes blurry and only Uncle Internet's face from the air has a clear contrast.

UNCLE INTERNET

What do you want, SmartBaby ?

SMARTBABY

I want to know about these workers. Do you see them?

UNCLE INTERNET

I see everything that you see.

SMARTBABY

How is this?

UNCLE INET

Because we have a connection, so everything you see, I see. So what are you interested in this time?

SMARTBABY

I want to know about these hard workers.

UNCLE INET

This is an anthill or an ant nest, the name of an ant nest, which is usually noticeable by its above-ground part, which is a pile of pieces of leaves, pine needles, twigs, and earth, is the above-ground part of an ant nest, which consists of a complex system of tunnels and miniature structures. And Ants represent the class of insects, the phylum of arthropods, the order of hymenopterans, and the family of ants. Ants are social insects that are divided into workers, females, and males.

SMARTBABY

Thank you, Uncle Internet, and stay in touch.

And then everything becomes clear, and the airy face dissolves.

SmartBaby approaches the ants.

SMARTBABY

Hello.

The ants remain silent and continue their work.

SMARTBABY

Do you know who you are?

The ants work in silence. SmartBaby picks one up, but it bites and jumps away. Suddenly, the entire colony turns to SmartBaby and rears up.

SMARTBABY

Oh, please forgive me, but my name is SmartBaby , and I want to make friends with you, and in return, I want to tell you who you are.

A female ant with wings, guarded by winged ants.

THE ANT QUEEN

You should go through the forest, stranger. We don't need friends, because there are a lot of us. And who are we? I am their queen mother, and they are just the queen's slave children, that is, my children and workers. So, go by and think about the fact that winter is coming soon. And we need to prepare for it carefully.

SMARTBABY

Well, I apologize again.

SmartBaby passes by them.

CHAPTER 3

SmartBaby continues walking through the Park. On the way, he sees a praying mantis lying under a bush. SmartBaby stops.

SMARTBABY

Uncle Internet, come to me.

Immediately, everything around becomes cloudy and only Uncle Internet's face from the air has a clear contrast.

UNCLE INTERNET

What do you need, SmartBaby ?

SMARTBABY

I want to know about this sleeping creature.

UNCLE INET

This, my friend, is the common mantis, or the religious mantis. It is a large predatory insect with front limbs adapted for capturing food. It reaches a length of 42-52 mm (male) or 48-75 mm (female). It is the largest and most common species of mantis in Europe. And this one is so-so.

SMARTBABY

Thank you, Uncle Internet, and if you need anything, just let me know.

And then everything becomes clear, and the airy face dissolves.

SmartBaby kicks a Praying Mantis in the belly. He opens his eyes, jumps off and runs away in fright.

SmartBaby shrugs his shoulders, the Mantis immediately comes running back.

THE MANTIS LOAFED

Hello, I'm a Praying Mantis, nicknamed Loafer, and I'm wondering why you woke me up?

SMARTBABY

It's just that I know everything about you, and I want to share with you about who you are. Most of all, I'm looking for friends, and I want to be your friend.

BOGOMOL LOBOSTRAS

And what is a friend?

SmartBaby turns to the sky.

SMARTBABY

Uncle Internet, come to me.

It takes some time.

SMARTBABY (continuing)

Thank you, Uncle Internet, and if you need anything, just give me a shout.

Turns to the Praying Mantis.

SMARTBABY (continuing)

A friend is someone who has a close, good relationship with someone else, a mutual liking based on mutual understanding.

THE LAZY MANTIS

Well, if that's the case, I don't mind being friends. Hey, are you looking for a single friend, or do you don't care how many friends you have?

SMARTBABY

To be honest, I don't care, but the more, the more fun to play.

THE LAZY MANTIS

(happy)

Then, I suggest going to my old friend The foodstick, who lives in the ravine across the river.

SMARTBABY

Just a minute.

SmartBaby turns to the sky.

SMARTBABY (continuing)

Uncle Internet, come to me.

Immediately, everything around becomes cloudy and only Uncle Internet's face from the air has a clear contrast.

UNCLE INTERNET

What do you need, SmartBaby do you need?

SMARTBABY

I want to know about The foodstick.

UNCLE INET

I have no information about the existence of such a creature. But if you see it, I will add it to my registry and the whole world will know about it. But remember, you may be misled. So be careful. And have a safe journey.

SMARTBABY

Thank you, Uncle Inet, and stay in touch.

And then everything becomes clear, and the airy face dissolves.

SmartBaby turns to the Praying Mantis.

SMARTBABY

My favorite uncle Internet doesn't know about a creature called The foodstick.

THE LAZY MANTIS

(laughs)

So there's something your All-Knowing doesn't know, and that means he's not All-Knowing. And where is he, in your head?

SMARTBABY

First of all, laughing at someone else's grief, it's not good, and secondly, Uncle Internet lives in a parallel digital world. Therefore, only I and people like me can communicate with him and thirdly, I suggest you go to The foodstick, and then if I see him, I will immediately tell Uncle Internet about him. And The foodstick will become the most popular creature in the world! Wow!

THE LAZY MANTIS

Cool, for The foodstick, and what's my benefit from it?

SMARTBABY

So everything is obvious even without the advice of Uncle Internet, just you will become a friend of the most popular creature in the world! Imagine?!

THE LAZY MANTIS

Well, if so, then I like, and I will probably agree to show you where The foodstick lives and introduce you to him. Although he doesn't like friends.

SMARTBABY

How did you meet him?

THE LAZY MANTIS

You won't believe it, in a dream. He dreamed of me and told me where to come when I woke up. I came, and we became friends. That's just his cousin, Sunny EYE, so friendly. You can be friends with him at the beginning and then you can consider yourself a friend of The foodstick.

CHAPTER 4

SmartBaby and THE LAZY MANTIS walk through the field.

THE LAZY MANTIS

Why don't you ask your uncle Internet about Sunny EYE?

SMARTBABY

Well, I need to see him, then he'll understand what I'm asking. Where can we find this Sunny EYE?

The praying mantis turns and SmartBaby turns.

THE LAZY MANTIS

You'll see. It always appears after it rains or when someone is angry. But as long as I've known him, he's been so kind and cheerful, unlike his cousin The foodstick. He's always grumbling about people coming to see him.

SMARTBABY

Then why did he appear to you in your dream?

THE LAZY MANTIS

And I'm bringing sticks to him in the ravine, he's The foodstick.

SMARTBABY

That is, a tree. Is he a tree?

THE LAZY MANTIS

No, just sticks, and only sticks that are lying in an unauthorized dump.

The mantis runs down the hill, and SmartBaby runs with it.

SMARTBABY

How long will it take?

The panting Praying Mantis doesn't say anything.

SMARTBABY (continuing)

Why are you silent? Are you breathing? Now I understand why you don't answer when you're running, you're breathing. It's very difficult to breathe and talk at the same time. Only the Bushmen in Australia can do that. They can inhale and exhale simultaneously. And when you speak, you exhale, and when you're silent, you inhale.

The mantis stops.

THE LAZY MANTIS

You fool, I'm breathing my ass, because I grew up in a pond. And I'm silent, because we've entered the forest, and in the forest, you should be silent, or they'll eat you. Not you, of course.

SmartBaby smiles and looks at the mantis.

SMARTBABY

Now Uncle Internet will give me a certificate about your breath.

The mantis grins and slaps SmartBaby on the shoulder of the body.

THE LAZY MANTIS

How can he give a reference if he's not with us? He's staying where I'm sleeping.

SMARTBABY

Oh, no. He's everywhere in the air. He's here and there, but you can't touch or see him like you can see air. I told you, he exists parallel to us. He only sees what I show him.

THE LAZY MANTIS

You're lying. You can smell the air, especially if you're talking to a dung fly that smells so bad it makes your eyes water.

SmartBaby turns to the sky.

SMARTBABY

Uncle Internet, come to me.

Suddenly, everything becomes blurry, and only Uncle Internet's face appears clearly in the air.

UNCLE INET

What do you need, SmartBaby ?

SMARTBABY

Uncle Inet, I want to know about the breathing of my friend, the Praying Mantis.

UNCLE INET

Praying Mantis have a complex system of trachea for breathing. There are 10 pairs of spiracles, or stigmas, on the sides of the body: they are located on the middle and rear thorax and on the 8 segments of the abdomen.

SMARTBABY

Thank you, Uncle Internet, if anything, then stay in touch.

And immediately everything becomes clear, and the airy face dissolves.

The mantis looks at the SmartBaby.

THE LAZY MANTIS

SmartBaby, tell me, how can your relative know better about my breathing than I do?

SMARTBABY
