Note: On the last line, the code picks a random colour from the list so that the chat bot gives a different answer each time.
Click on the code sample below then modify it by changing some of the colours or adding more colours.
Sample code:

- Animate your Elf by changing the Elf's costume.
- Add in a random pause so that it looks like the Elf is thinking before revealing the answer.
