Synopsis: "The maestro plays the piano as the robot listens and asks questions. And then it, the robot, plays the piano superbly. The maestro becomes excited, invites experts to come hear the robot play, but the robot has seen the maestro cry at the robot's playing beautifully and refuses to play because tears are a sign of harm to humans and he has been programmed never to harm humans." (RayS)
