Perhaps the robot finds other discarded robots and they form their own little community. They learn to communicate and support each other. They might even start creating things together, like small artworks from scraps, and gradually they find happiness in their new existence away from the humans who once rejected them.
In the end, the robot's sadness could be a catalyst for a change in the world around it. People might see how wrong it was to abandon the robot. They could start a movement to recycle and reuse old robots, and the sad robot becomes the symbol of this change. It is then refurbished and placed in a museum as an example of how society should value all forms of life, even mechanical ones.
Maybe the robot was bullied by the students in school. They might have made fun of it for being different or not being as good as them at certain tasks.
In a small sad story, perhaps the main character finally gives up hope. For example, if it's a lonely old man waiting for his family to visit, after years of waiting, he just stops looking out the window. He sits in his chair, lost in his sad memories, and the story ends with his quiet resignation.
Maybe, against all odds, a kind - hearted person decides to take the sad dog in and gives it all the love and care it needs. This person might see the pain in the dog's eyes and just can't resist helping. So, the dog slowly recovers from its sadness and starts a new, happy life with its new owner.
There was a robot called Charlie. Charlie worked in a toy store, entertaining kids. However, one day it got a malfunction in its voice box. The store owner didn't want to fix it and just put Charlie in the storage room. Charlie could hear the laughter of kids outside but couldn't be part of it anymore. It was so sad, just sitting there in the dark, waiting for a chance that would never come.

Perhaps the soldier succumbs to his mental or physical wounds and passes away, leaving behind a legacy of sadness.
The dog's deformity could be miraculously cured through a complex surgery funded by an animal welfare organization. After that, it becomes an inspiration for other disabled animals. It gets adopted by a family who takes it around to different schools and events to tell its story of survival and hope, turning the once - sad story into a positive one.
Well, it could be the loss of a loved one. Maybe a character in the story had someone very dear to them pass away, and that brought about this sad end. It could also be the shattering of a big dream. For example, if someone had been striving for a certain career all their life and then it was suddenly out of reach, that would make for a very sad conclusion.
Poor teacher training can also be a cause. Teachers who are not confident or knowledgeable about robotics can't effectively teach students. They may give incorrect information or not be able to answer students' questions, which makes the learning experience sad and unproductive. Like, if a teacher doesn't understand how to debug a robot's program, students will be stuck when they encounter problems.
The teddy bear could be found by a kind-hearted person who mends it and gives it a new home.
