It wasn't long before a smiling Bitsa opened the door.  He looked surprised for a moment, but then his smile grew even bigger.  "Hi, Squiff," he said.  "I'm so glad you could make it."

Squiff looked down at the ground.  "Hi, Bitsa.  I'm really sorry, but I forgot your—" he began, before his friend interrupted him.

"And thanks for my present, too.  It's a lovely surprise."

Squiff couldn't imagine what on Blerg was Bitsa was talking about.  "What surprise?" he asked.
