        My normal description for Python run:

a = 5

        Find the post-it note that has the name "a", if it doesn't exist, 
create a new post-it and write "a" on it. Take this post-it note, and 
find the box containing "5"... Stick the post-it note on that box 
(without removing any other post-it notes already on the box).
