Golden Box Book Publishing Pico The Pesky Parrot | Page 16
When it was time to go to the airport, Molly dropped off her
bird and cat at Sarah’s house. Miau started playing with Emma’s
cats right away, but Pico flew on top the sofa and started
squawking.
Pico looked at Molly with suspicion in his beady eyes. He
anxiously shifted his weight from one foot to the other perching
on the sofa and shrieked, “Irgr, irgr, irgr.” Pico seemed angry and
afraid and started scratching the sofa cushion with her sharp
claws.
“I’m so sorry Pico, but I will be back soon. Goodbye, Pico.”
Molly said with tears in her eyes, and she left quickly.
Dennis, Sarah’s husband, was not happy, “This bird will drive
me crazy!” he shouted.
“Not a peep out of you Dennis, I didn’t say a word when you
brought your friend’s Great Dane home while he was on
vacation.”
“Sorry honey, you’re right.” Dennis calmed instantly. “I’ll zip
my mouth and take the screeching for two weeks without a word, I
promise.”
