You're using a variable in a literal array. literal arrays only take
literal contents. So 'pt' is read as a symbol (i.e., it's not
dereferenced).

Replace this with:

  dict at: 'first' put: (Array with: 'text' with: pt).

> readPt _ ((dict at: 'first') at: 2). "readPt is now a Symbol"

Hope this helps.
