But now Ricky couldn’t 40 his favorite T-shirt, nor his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two items didn’t 41 , and the same was starting to happen with other things. 42 the butler robot, Ricky thought of a plan to 43 on it, and finally caught it red-handed (正在作案的), picking up one of his toys to “ 44 ” it.
He told his parents that the butler was 45 and asked them to have it 46 . But his parents didn’t believe him at all for they were 47 with the butler for its good service.

I am programmed to collect all that is not 52 , and at night I send them to those who can use them. I’m a highly efficient machine,” the bulter said.
Ricky started feeling 53 . Since then, Ricky decided to put real 54 into how he treated his things. He also often bought things and took them to help out those who are 55 -- along with his good friend, the butler of course.
