Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
At a birthday party, Sam and his friends are playing with balloons. Sam has a special red balloon that he tied to a chair so it wouldn't float away. While Sam is eating cake, his friend Lily accidentally pops the red balloon. Feeling bad, she replaces it with a green balloon of the same size. Later, another friend, Ben, finds a similar red balloon and ties it next to the green one as a surprise for Sam. When Sam returns to the chair, what will he think happened to his red balloon? Provide a brief response.

### Response:

When Sam returns, he will likely be confused initially. He expected to find his special red balloon tied to the chair but instead sees a green balloon and another red balloon beside it. Without knowing what happened while he was away, he might think that his original red balloon is still there (now accompanied by a second, green balloon, and an additional red balloon) or he may think that his balloon popped and two different balloons were put there as replacements. If he notices any differences between his original red balloon and the one that Ben tied next to the green one, he could conclude that someone replaced his balloon after it popped. His interpretation will depend on whether he notices any distinguishing features of his original balloon that are missing from the new one and how much he knows about the balloons present at the party. If the new red balloon is very similar to his, he might believe it is his original balloon unless someone explains what actually happened.
