Beginning	My fake heart beats in my chest. Even though I’m scared, my robot heart is programmed to stay at a steady heartbeat, and to do anything to find a plant, to save us from what we have done. I search, and have been my whole life. I see a peek of green. I see it. What I was made for. I will do anything for this and the humans. And not just because I'm programmed to.
Middle	I climb up the mountain, the one to place the tree. It has wilted leaves and needs somewhere to grow and flourish. I keep climbing, tired and covered in dirt. My arms give up and I fall. But I won’t give. I climb again. If I fall again, I will die. I make it. I fall to the ground and drop the plant, as softly as I can.
End	My software stops. Years pass. Then… A tree. One tree that can give loads of seeds. The humans come back and turn me back on, telling what has happened. My job is far from done. I will help them renew the world. And when I have, my job will be done.

Summary in less than 60 words. 

First I searched and finally found the tree. Next I climbed out the mountain, dropped the plant and my software stopped. Finally the tree grew and the humans can renew the Earth.
