Pin wanted to set up a party, but no one came. The next day, Krash and Chiko rush to visit him, since he invited them yesterday, but they forgot. At the entrance to the hangar, Chiko finds strange footprints, which lead to a small round robot playing in the sandbox. Chiko accidentally makes a lot of noise, and the robot, frightened, hides behind Pin's back. Pin introduced his friends a robot named Bibi. Chiko quickly makes friends with him, but Krash is wary.

Chiko plays checkers with Bibi while Krash and Pin fix the ship. Krash still doesn't understand what Bibi's point is. He asks Chiko for a wrench, and Chiko passes it over with Bibi's help. Then, Krash asks him for a screwdriver, but Bibi unknowingly gives him a switched-on welding machine, which causes Krash to be electrocuted. Chiko starts teaching Bibi about the tools, but he learns very quickly and wants to study more complex topics, so Chiko sends him to Pin. Next morning, Pin sees a beautiful ship on the water that Bibi made overnight. Chiko states that the robot has already learned everything he could and thinks they're boring. At night, Pin wakes up to a sudden noise of Bibi's ship sailing away.

At winter Pin gets a photo and a message from Bibi, who's studying microgravity on the moon and says hello to uncle's Chiko and Krash.

Tropes:

  • Continuity Nod:
  • Empty Nest: Bibi learns everything very quickly, invents a ship and prepares to explore new grounds. When he starts his expedition at night, only leaving a farewell inscription on the sand, Pin starts crying.
  • Robots Think Faster: In the novelization, Bibi solves the problem even before Pin completes its condition.
