Minibot challenge: Cubebot Finds His Roots

Cubebot was very lonely when he got to earth, until one day:

Quickly he found the Gallery. As he went into the exhibition he gasped:

" Mon Dieu!  It's Grandmama, who ran away to earth with an artist". (I didn't know I could speak French, he thought). A beautiful young women with more than a passing resemblance to Grandmama approached:

"Mon Dieu, she is my grandmama also! We are cousins. My name is Jolie. You must come home with me right away and meet your other cousins."

"This is Marie-Therese, the grandaughter of our grandpapa Pablo and  his fourth mistress".
"Bonjour Marie-Therese" said Cubebot. Jolie whispered in his ear, "She's flamboyant, like her grandmama, but shallow."

He sat down to enjoy a beer with two cousins, Pablito, Jolie's brother, and Rubik. "He's the brainy one," whispered Jolie.
(He may be brainy, thought Cubebot, but I could teach him a thing or two).

Alas, Rubik was brainy, but not very flexible, so they gave up and posed for a family photo:

And from then on Cubebot was not lonely on earth.

THE END (FIN)
