Robot Eagle - Robot Kartal

ROBOT EAGLE
Professor Jack Stingo used to make some experiments, was trying to invent things in his free time on the basement floor of his house, which he converted into a laboratory. In the last few years he paid all his attention to make a robot eagle and concentrated his works on this way. He had already made two robot eagles and had flown them with a remote control in his house’s large garden, which was in the ghetto, but that was not his main aim.

Professor Jack Stingo knew that making a well – developed robot eagle was in turn. This robot eagle would have a lot more different qualifications than the other robot eagles: It would have all the information it should know through the mini computer in its brain and it would search the eagles’ lives by having close relationships with them by the light of this information. It would transfer its observations to the professor’s computer in the laboratory after interpreting them in the mini computer in its brain. By the way everything he saw through the camera in its eyes would be seen by the professor on the computer’s screen being in the laboratory.

The desire to learn new and different knowledge was an unforsakeable passion of human mentality and it wasn’t contended with that and the effort to learn even the unknown would be used as a springboard and each new knowledge could be presented for the good of mankind.

Professor Jack Stingo completed to make the robot eagle after a tiresome work, which lasted three years; he took the robot eagle out to the garden, turned back to the laboratory, sat in front of his computer and he made the robot eagle fly by actuating the remote control. After touring a little, the robot eagle headed for towards the mountains. It would join the eagles living at the steep and rugged reef and would search their lives. After flying a while, the robot eagle saw an eagle flying by making large circles at a very high level. What was this eagle doing? What was its aim of flying by making large circles? It should be asked him. It rose. When it came near to the eagle it asked: “Excuse me, why are you turning all the time there?” The eagle showed a very harsh and brutal reaction: “Shut up, go away, don’t you have any business? Push off…”
The robot eagle immediately went away from there. What kind of an eagle was that? He had apologized and asked why he had been turning. Why had the eagle dismissed him? The robot eagle passed that night in peace. The following day when he nearly had reached the steep and rugged reef, he saw an eagle nest. There were two eagles and a nestling, he headed towards them. The two eagles left the nest at he same time and they held up. After one of the eagles said: “What do you think you are doing? What impertinence! I was chasing a game yesterday, you made me talk just before I would chase, and you made me miss my game and today you are trying to come to my nest. These are terrible mistakes and there is no mercy for them. An eagle has to know these wherever on earth he lives. I don’t know why but I think that you have made these mistakes without knowing. If you knew them, you couldn’t stand so calm before me. Now go away from here without saying anything and never meet me again. I will pull you to pieces at your third mistake. Oh, he is still standing”, he wanted to throw himself into the robot eagle. The robot eagle immediately turned back and started to run away from there as quick as possible. The eagles turned back to their nests after chasing the robot eagle for a while. The robot eagle went down to a reef, which was on the hillsides of a mountain, after flying for nearly half an hour. The environment was quite silent. He started to interpret the events on his mini computer in his mind and transfer all the talks to the professor’s computer. After he finished the process, he heard an eagle’s voice while he was trying to find to which way he should fly.
“Hey buddy!... What are you doing there? May I come near you?” The robot eagle turned his head to left and looked. An eagle had perched on the reef further and was shaking one of his wings. “If you want to talk, I can come near you. Would you like me to come, buddy?” This was a chance that the robot eagle sought but couldn’t find. The chance was there for him. It was called chance and he wouldn’t miss the chance.
“Come on buddy, let’s come and talk!” The eagle flew and perched near the robot eagle.
“I have been watching you for a while, buddy. You were quite dreamy a few minutes ago, as if your body was here but your mind was in another place or let’s say you seemed me like that.”
“What you have said might be true in some way. Everything has a reason. If you move backwards from here, you will reach the occurrence; if you move forwards, you will reach the result.”
“It is possible to reach the result by eliminating the reasons of its occurrence, isn’t it buddy?”
“Completely right. Let’s talk in short! I am a robot eagle made by a scientist called Professor Jack Stingo. I am on duty to search the eagles’ lives. The number of the eagles in the world is decreasing steadily. This situation is known by the mankind and studies are done so that the eagles breed won’t become extinct. The professor will present the knowledge, which he has got through me, for the mankind’s opinion and the things that people know will consolidate with the new knowledge about the eagles. The studies made by this knowledge’s light will make the eagles propagate. It must be your duty to attend to such a useful aim as an eagle.” After the eagle looked very puzzled at the robot eagle’s face, he recovered himself.
“That means to say that you are a robot eagle. You were behaving strangely but if you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have understood that you were a robot. Anyway we mostly hunt during the day. Each eagle has a different game reserve. An eagle can’t enter another eagle’s game reserve. It is forbidden. We don’t like being disturbed while chasing a game and relaxing in our nest. If somebody disturbs, they will be reacted and put in their places. We don’t often push and shove one another. Its reason is that two eagles rarely come together and see each other except the family. As you know the eagles are the rulers of the skies. No other flying creature can break a lance with us. We build our nests on the summits of the mountains, at the steepest and most unreachable places of the reefs. We live there away from the strangers’ eyes. Sometimes a snake comes, from where I don’t know, and pesters the eggs in the nest. If there are three eggs in the nest, it certainly snatches one or two of them.

It is impossible to leave the nest when there are eggs. We hunt snakes every day but since they propagate very quickly, those snakes’ numbers never decrease. It is a problem even they exist or not. By the way the people shoot and kill them with rifles. Why do people kill the eagles although they don’t eat their meat? No, such a nonsense thing can’t happen. If there weren’t any eagles, there would be snakes and centipedes everywhere. Common voles would be come across at every step. If these common voles propagate, there would neither be fields and vineyards nor gardens. They would wipe away all the crops. As a result the ones would be the people who would go hungry, this is my remark.”

The following talks were in the way of question – answer. The robot eagle asked the questions that he couldn’t answer, and the eagle answered. After talking a little more for a while the robot eagle said: “That’s enough, thank you buddy.” The eagle said “Thank you actually, buddy” and it flew away. The robot eagle immediately transferred the talks to the professor’s computer. The robot eagle, who continued his observations for a few more days in the environment, set off his journey to return. The information that has been got would be presented to the people’s remark through publication after being compiled.
