1
Bolt was a brave little robot, except for one thing. When the lights went out, he hid under the table.
2

3

5
The darker it got, the more his own light filled the hall. He had been carrying a lamp all along.
6
He reached his charger, plugged in, and smiled. Now Bolt is the night light for the whole house.
