"Bluebottle: What's the time Eccles?
Eccles: Just a minute, I've got it written down on a piece of paper. A nice man wrote it down for me. If anyone asks me the time, I show it to them.
Bluebottle: Let me see that paper. It is writted here that it is 8 o'clock. Here what happens if they ask you and it's not 8 o'clock.
Eccles: Then I don't show them the piece of paper!
Bluebottle: But how do you know if it's 8 o'clock?
Eccles: I've got it written down on this piece of paper!
Bluebottle: You should get one of those things my grandpa has. It tells the time, gets you up in the morning, makes you tea.
Eccles: Oh yes, what do you call that?
Bluebottle: My grandma!
Eccles: Here! How does she know what time it is?
Bluebottle: She's got it writted on a piece of paper!"
