Bolt gets mixed up
Hi friend! This is Bolt the robot. Bolt helps Chef Amara in her kitchen. Once, Bolt brought her a sock, not a spoon! Oops. Now, when Bolt is not sure, he asks a question.
Two blue things!
Chef Amara says, bring me the blue one. Bolt looks. There is a blue cup. There is a blue hat. And a red apple. Uh oh! Two blue things. So Bolt asks, do you mean the cup or the hat? The cup, please!
Let's pick the question
Amara says, bring me the green one. Bolt sees a green car, a green ball, and a red hat. Two green things! Which question helps? Why do you want it? No. What is your name? No. Do you mean the car or the ball? Yes! It names the two choices.
