At a farmers' market, Nadia watches a stallholder wrap a loaf in plain brown paper. The stallholder does not put a sticker on it. Later, Nadia's friend asks her, "What colour was the sticker the stallholder put on the package?" Nadia says it was blue. The next day, Nadia describes watching the stallholder press a blue sticker onto the paper, although there was no sticker.
