The Robot That Loves Socks

Last month, my parents bought a robot vacuum cleaner. They have never owned anything like it before, and they are very proud of it. They have even given it a name: Lucky.

Lucky cleans the flat every morning while my parents are at work. It moves slowly from room to room, and it always finds its way back to its charger. My mother says it has changed her life.

But Lucky has one strange habit. It loves socks. Every evening, my father finds a sock under the sofa or behind a door. At first, he thought he was getting old and forgetful.

Then one day he watched the robot on his phone. Lucky was pulling a sock out of the laundry basket! Since then, my father has kept the basket on a chair. Lucky has not stolen a single sock this week, but it looks a little sad.

So my mother has given Lucky an old red sock. Now Lucky carries it from room to room all day, and everyone in the flat is happy again.
