This is a good story about a little robot who thinks that he has no worth, until one day a boy sees the value in him. This story shows that not everyone is perfect for everything, but you are perfect in your own special way.

Clink is an old fashioned robot. He doesn't do as much as the new robots and he feels sad and left out. His friends try to cheer him up but once they get sold, there isn't much for him to do so he sits sadly, until he sees the perfect boy. Then Clink proves that he is the right robot!
