Mr. Smith made a robot, but he could only say one sentence. That is "You are quite right." The robot always said the same words when someone spoke to him.
One day, Mr. Smith needed lots of money, so he took the robot to the market to sell him. There were many people in the market. "Who will buy my robot? He is very smart," he shouted (叫喊). "Nine hundred dollars for my robot!"
A man was surprised that he was asking for so much money. "Is it different?" he thought. Then he spoke to the robot, "Are you worth (值得) nine hundred dollars?" "You are quite right," answered the robot.
The man liked the robot's answer so much, and he bought him and took him home. But soon he found that the robot couldn't say anything. He was sorry he bought the robot. He stood in front of the robot and said, "How foolish (愚蠢的) I was to spend so much money on you!" "You are quite right," said the robot.
