“Bonny has a surprise for Pablo”
I’ve got a surprise, said Bonny Bray. What is it? said Pablo.

It’s a stuffed animal I bought at the market, said Bonny. Hey, said Pablo, it looks like Blurtso! What’s his name? I don’t know, said Bonny, maybe we should call him Blurtso. No, said Pablo, if we call him Blurtso we’ll never know if we’re talking about the real Blurtso or the duplicate. Yes, said Bonny, I suppose you’re right. Hmmm, said Pablo, he’s just like the original, but he isn’t the original… what if we call him Ditto? Ditto? said Bonny. Yes, said Pablo, he’s a ditto of the original. I like it, said Bonny, I wonder if he likes it? Why don’t you ask? said Pablo. O.k., said Bonny, I will… hello Ditto, do you like your name?
Yes! Yes! Yes! said Ditto, hopping up and down.
