A Special Pet
One day Amy went to buy a pet. She didn’t want a cat or dog. She didn’t want a goldfish. “I want a special pet.” Amy thought. So she went to the pet shop.
“Can I help you?” asked the woman in the shop. “I want to by a pet,” said Amy. “Here’s a lovely kitten,” the woman said. “Thank you, but I don’t want a kitten,”said Amy. “This is a very nice dog,”the woman said. “I don’t want a dog,” said Amy.“And what about this goldfish?It’s very beautiful.” “My brother has got a goldfish,” said Amy. “I want to buy a really special pet.”
“Here’s a special pet,”said woman. “It’s very beautiful,”said Amy. “It’s a parort, ”said woman. “and it is very clever.” “Look, it’s got two string on its feet,” said Amy. “That’s right,” said the woman. “Why?”Amy asked. “Well, pull this string and find out,”she said.
Amy pulled the first string. “Hello,” said the parrot. “Wow!”said Amy. “Now pull the another string,” the woman said.Amy pulled the another string. “Goodbye,” said the parrot. “That’s great!” said Amy.
“Do you want to buy the parrot?”asked the woman. “Oh.Yes!” said Amy. “But what will happen when I pull both strings?”she asked. “I will fall off my perch, of course!” said the parrot.
