In your code, the line with 1 ball in the box was being executed, but
then immediately overwritten with the final line. You need an "else
if" statement to tie all the if's together.
This might be a little clearner after slight restructuring:
if count = 0 then
sentence = "Mr Johnson says there are no balls in the box"
else if count = 1 then
sentence = "Mr Johnson says there is 1 ball in the box"
else
sentence = "Mr Johnson says there is" && count && "balls in the box"
end if
put sentence into field "mr_john_count"
