Jake to the rescue

Kelton woke up screaming this morning from a nightmare.  I go in to comfort him. "What's wrong buddy?"  "My lollipop is all gone!"  And he burst out in uncontrollable sobs.  "Oh no!"  I say secretly smiling, "What happened to your lollipop?"

"Captain Hook took it.  Captain Hook mean."  His cries grow louder.

"What color was your lollipop?"  I ask.  In between convulsing sobs, "Red.  Jake's lollipop orange.  I want my lollipop back!"

"I'm sorry your lollipop is gone bud."  Kelton starts calming down, and manages to say, "Jake will get my lollipop back."
