What has happened so far in our story? Let's make sure everyone is up to speed.

Roz was shipwrecked on an island. She is a robot that can complete tasks and get better with every try. She is solar powered so she has no need to plug into an outlet. The animals on the island were very scared of her and called her a monster. But Roz is almost the opposite, she is a very nice robot that literally can not harm anyone on purpose. She has the ability to annoy people and things, as we saw with the pinecones. Roz takes a tumble and along with some big rocks and falls on a family of geese. Only one lonely gosling survived. Roz tries to get another goose to take care of it but becomes the bird's mother. They battled some bears, made new friends, visited the robot grave yard, and found out that Roz has a shut off switch.
