a pretend story

Juma likes to tell and be told what he calls pretend stories (made up stories as opposed to written-in-books stories). He's getting pretty practiced on his form. Here's the story from tonight's bedtime ritual.

Juma: Once upon a time there was a caterpillar named Juma. [aside] What was his name?
Sarah: Juma.
Juma: [to himself] Oh, yeah, that's a good name. This caterpillar met a worm. They played.
