Speaking exercise

It was dark. A was charging,  after that, A began to find minerals and A charged again. Then, A met another robot – B – who can smash big rocks.  Then they started to cooperate/work together to find minerals. they split those minerals.

A robot was searching for minerals on a dark planet. He could see through rocks and detect where minerals were. But he was small and unable to break the rocks. He also needed to charge his car with a solar umbrella once in a while. Then, A met another robot – B – who can smash big rocks but could not see through them. So they started to cooperate/work together to find more minerals and they would split those minerals evenly/50-50.

After one mission, they split the minerals and realized there was one left, both of them wanted the last one, so they started to fight over it. Eventually, the small robot used it’s umbrella to blown B away. He finally has the last mineral! Soon, he realized he was running out of battery, and had to shut down because of it. His heart was full of regret!
