Wording of this Handout:
Based on a true story
Once there was a Parakeet...
"Ho hum... Life's a long perch in a small cage. I'm so bored I can't even be bothered finishing this sen..."
But just then someone decided to vacuum the parakeet's cage. Then the phone rang, "I'll just get the phone..."
"Hullo? What's this?
But the parakeet went down the tube!
Later, the parakeet was pulled out of the dust bag... Washed, and dried. Then he was put back in his cage.
"No More life please!!! Gulp!"
