> A robot climbed the ladder onto the roof of a bulding. He had several bunnies in a box. When he reached the top of building, he set the box down. He reached down and took the bunnies out of the box. He put each of the bunnies into a cage.
>
> The robot turned around and grabbed a bag. He reached in the bag. He gave each of the bunnies food pellets. Then, he filled their water bottles. The robot sat down and watched one of the bunnies. The bunny nibbled on some food pellets. Then it drank some water.
>
> The bunny finished. The robot stood up and walked to the cage. He opened up the cage and took out the bunny. He weighed the bunny and measured it. Then he took out another bunny. He weighed and measured it too.
>
> The robot climbed down the ladder. He was in an alley way between two buildings. There was a dumpster at the end of the alley. The robot made his way to the dumpster. He opened up the lid and rumaged through it. He picked out a circut board and metal scraps. Then he hoped out of the dumpster.
>
> He gathered up the material and walked to the ladder. He put the material in a box and climbed the ladder. When he reached the top he put the box down. He reached in the box and took out metal and circut board. He built a robotic bunny. He turned the bunny on and put it on the ground.
>
> The robot took a real bunny out and put it on the ground. The real bunny approached the fake one. He sniffed the fake bunny. Then he peed on it. The fake bunny shorted out and fell over.
>
> The robot picked up the fake bunny. He shook off some of the urine. Then, he dropped it on the table.
>
> There was a tool set under the table. The robot reached under the table and picked out a laser and screwdriver. He worked on the bunny for a little bit. Then he set his tools down.
>
> He walked over to the ladder and climbed down. He made his way back to the dumpster. Then, he jumped back in. He found another circut board and pump with a tiny hose. He went back to the ladder. He climbed it with the pump and hose.
>
> The robot repaired his robotic bunny. Then he set it on the ground. The real bunny approached it again. The fake bunny sniffed the real one. Then he peed on the real bunny. The real buny shook its head and ran away.
>
> The robot picked up the fake bunny. He climbed down the ladder. Then he left the alley and walked into the building. The robot walked behind a counter. He set the bunny down. Then he walked to the front door and put out the “Open†sign.
>
> An hour passed. Then, a kid walked through the front door. She approached the robot.
>
> “I need a new toy.†The girl said.
>
> “We have new toys.â€Â
>
> “Can I have that bunny?â€Â
>
> The robot looked down at the bunny he just worked on. He picked up the bunny and turned it on. The bunny hopped around on the counter.
>
> “It costs twelve dollars,†The robot said. The girl took out her purse. She opened it up and took out twelve dollars. She gave the money to the robot. Then the robot handed her the bunny. The little girl left the store.
>
> After a couple hours a boy came in. He asked for a robotic bunny.
>
> “Well, we have some in stock,†the robot said.
>
> “I want one that pees.â€Â
>
> “I only made one,†the robot said.
>
> The boy looked behind the robot. He pointed at a Hippo.
>
> “What does that one do?†The boy asked.
>
> “He swims,†The robot said.
>
> “Can he do anything else?â€Â
>
> “He walks.â€Â
>
> “Can you make him belch?â€Â
>
> The robot shrugged. He reached behind him and opened up the Hippo package. Then, he took out the Hippo and made some adjustments. He turned the Hippo. The Hippo walked around. Then, he belched. The boy paid for the Hippo and left.
>
>
>
> The following evening a young woman came in. She held the toy Hippo and bunny in her arms.
>
> “Give me my money back,†The woman said.
>
> “There are no refunds,†The robot said. The woman picked up the toys and left. The robot walked out of the shop. He went into the alley. He climbed he ladder. Then, he fed his bunnies and came back down. He made his way back into his shop. He worked on his toys for the night.
