Mila was excited to try her new invention—a tiny automatic robot she’d programmed to help around the house. It could sweep, dust, and even play music to match her mood.

At first, everything worked perfectly. Mila was happy as the robot zipped around, humming a funny tune while it cleaned. But soon, the little machine began to annoy her.

It followed her everywhere, beeping for attention like a needy puppy. When she tried to take a break, it declared, “Game mode activated!” and started shooting foam darts at her. “Stop it!” she shouted, ducking behind the couch.

The robot didn’t listen—it was too stubborn. When she reached for its power button, it spun in circles like it was under attack. Mila groaned. “You’re such a nuisance!”

After a brief struggle (and one minor dart-related pain), she finally managed to turn it off.

As silence filled the room, she sighed and laughed. “Well,” she said, rubbing her arm, “maybe next time I’ll build a robot with better manners.”
