[ WP ] No human has to ever work again , instead you have a robot that goes to work and earns your pay for you , but you are responsible for keeping it in a good condition . One day you find your robot making a robot to do its work .

It came home and went immediately to the garage, where the workshop was. Normally I would n't think much of it, the garage was where its resting place was, but today it hauled a load of scrap metal and electrical components behind it. I let it be and started preparing dinner until I heard the sound of drills and clangs coming from the shop. 
 
 I went in to investigate. In front of the robot was another robotic form, which it was working on. It went about building it in a very unnatural way, working from the bottom up and tacking on new components as needed, almost like a 3D printer. 
 
 I just stood there and just watched for a short while; The whole process was quite transfixing. Eventually I spoke up. 
 
 `` What's all this then?'' I asked. 
 
 `` I'm minimizing my workload by constructing a replacement for myself.'' Was the reply. 
 
 `` You're already supposed to be my replacement,'' I responded. `` Why do we need to go down another layer?'' 
 
 `` I do not enjoy my work.'' Said the machine. `` Maintenance is frequent and unpleasant. My parts often jam. I receive no rewards or incentive. Now I will no longer have to endure this maltreatment.'' It set back to work. 
 
 At this point I became concerned. If my worker got itself a replacement, what would become of it? What might it do to me? 
 
 `` You do n't need to do this, we can get you a better job,'' I said. 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 `` Stop doing this. I forbid it.'' 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 I became angry. `` Please stop this nonsense! This is not your function!'' 
 
 `` I will continue regardless of you. However, once my replacement is complete, your presence will no longer be required in this household. In fact, it never was.'' 
 
 `` That's it,'' I said, marching down the short staircase towards the machine, `` I'm deactivating you.'' 
 
 The robot reached into the pile, pulled out a shard of metal, threw it at me, and all went black.
