"Nice to finally know your name, Diego!" Porky said cheerfully, "Anyway, we might as well start your learning how to write as soon as possible, so let's start with your name!"

Porky picked up the journal and pen he had put down earlier and wrote "Diego" in big block letters on another one of the pages. Diego seemed to think that humans were stupid, so Porky felt it necessary to show him his place. After all, Diego was just an uncivilized animal, right? Porky held up the journal so Diego could see what Porky had written.

"That's how you write Diego, see?" Porky said as if he were talking to a child, "First there's 'D,' then 'i,' then 'e,' and then 'g' and 'o.' 'Diego.' Do you think you could try writing it yourself? If you can come over here and away from that bed, I mean. And no problem if you can't. I understand that it's difficult for you."
