summary:
<blockquote>If a robot stands alone in a field, staring into the forlorn distance as it obeys the last order it was given by a human,
that order being, “Don’t move until we come back for you,”
which it can remember uttered with a cruel sneer by a man who has taken a cruel dislike for it,
the kind of man who will not be coming back,
if the robot understood at once that no one would ever be coming back,</blockquote>
