Mrs Sardine

They are back at the Point Lowly Campground.

Terence is showing the botanists the new Nachoo.

It looks like the old Nachoo.

How will we know which one's which? asks Jean-Botanist.

They're both which, says Terence. 

Can they have different names? asks Carl-Botanist.

I guess so, says Terence. 

How about Nachoo-one and Nachoo-two? says Denis.

Okay, says Carl-Botanist. I'll have the new one.

Okay, says Jean-Botanist. And I'll have Nachoo-one.

That's mine, says Carl-Botanist. The new one is Nachoo-one.

The new one is Nachoo-two, says Jean-Botanist.

The old one is Nachoo-two, says Carl-Botanist. Because it's older

Good thinking, says Terence. 

Terence is right, says Gaius. But it might be better not to use numbers.

How about a different symbol scratched on the side of each Nachoo? asks Denis. 

A sensible idea, says Gaius. Botanists, choose your symbol.

A seed, says Jean-Botanist.

A different seed, says Carl-Botanist. 

That might be confusing, says Gaius. 

I'll choose, says Terence. A bird and a fish.

Excellent choice, says Gaius. Now who'll do the scratching?

I will, says Denis. Is there a knife?

Gaius looks for a knife in his backpack.

I'm sure I had one, says Gaius. 

Maybe I've got it, says Denis.

He looks in his backpack.

But no.

We'll have to ask a fellow camper if we can borrow one, says Gaius. Terence, go and ask that lady.

Okay, says Terence.

He walks across to the lady who is sitting outside her tent eating blueberries.

Hello! says the lady. I thought it was you.

Mrs Sardine! says Terence.

Faith, says Mrs Sardine.
