Lassoing the sun

Starland's 'cute robot sunsets' Apr/25 3.63 15/43

Quest entry - unlikely friends - tech and nature

It was the little robot's job to bring in the sun at the end of each day so the world could sleep.

But the sun never wanted to go to bed, the sun liked the light. The sun liked how everyone looked up at him and smiled. The sun got very grumpy at the little robot when he tried to do his job.

So the little robot had to use all his resources to get the sun to go to bed. Sometimes he could trick the sun,

"Hey mister sun, I have some very cute puppies just over the horizon there!".

Sometimes he could bribe the sun,

"Mister sun, if you just go to bed, in the morning I'll help shine you up so you shine even brighter all day!"

But lots of the time he had to resort to a rope and brute strength. This was very hard for the little robot. It made him sad to force his friend to do something he didn't want to do and it was very hard work.
