we have decided to get you a new friend.

i already have a friend, bucky.

we mean a friend who is not a dog.

but he is my friend.

he can still be your friend. because we get you a new friend it does not mean you can not have a second one.

if you say so.

there are many people in the world, and some of them have as many as four or five friends, what do you think of that?

it seems like a lot.

we are bringing you up to rule the world. when you rule the world billions of people will think you are their friend.

but i will not really be their friend, will i?

yes, you will, sort of.

will i have to say hello to them every day? and ask them how they are feeling?

you can say hello to them, all at once. as for how they are feeling, they can write to you, and zobo will answer them on your behalf. we have been through all this before.

yes, of course. but my brain is slow, and i have a hard time remembering things.

well, back to the subject at hand. your new friend will arrive tomorrow.

what is his name?

it is a her. her name is jill. you will like her.

how do you know? she is not here yet.

we hope that you will like her. you can prepare yourself for her arrival.

you mean get a room ready for her?

no, zenobia will do that. i meant, prepare yourself in your head for her arrival.

my head is already is already full.

i am sorry to hear that. why don’t you go lie down and take a nap?

i can lie down here and take a nap.

of course. but it might rain.

then you can pick me up and carry me inside.
