취학 전후의 아이들이 재미있어 할 만한 스토리이다. THE SHOW-AND-TELL 이 뭔지 몰랐는데, 영어권 학교의 학급에서 하는 행사인 모양이다. 자기가 아끼거나 말할 사연이 있는 물건을 가져와서 발표하기 시간을 갖는 것.
주인공 Reese에게는 굉장히 아끼는 로봇이 있는데, Reese가 학교에 가 있는 동안은 로봇은 집에 있다. 그런데 이 날 발표하기 위해 로봇을 데려간다. 학급에 어디나 있을 법한 '내 것이 최고야!'하는 캐릭터의 벤이라는 친구는 앵무새를 데려왔다.
서로 자기가 최고라고 대결을 펼치는데, 사실 벤이 일방적으로 네 로봇보다 내 앵무새가 더 멋져, 하는데서 발단이 시작된다. 우리 앵무새는 날 수 있는데, 네 꺼는 못하지?, 우리 앵무새는 말도 하는데, 네 꺼는 못하지? (사실 Reese의 로봇은 말은 할 수 있지만, 앵무새가 말한"I like crackers."에 자신은 해당하지 않기 때문에(과자를 좋아하지 않음) 말을 하지 않는다. ) 등등...
그렇지만 선생님이 멋지게 중재해 주신다.
