CHAPTER SIXTEEN
HENRY CONFUSES
PROFESSOR PARROT
THE EXPERT
“Hello, Professor,” said Perry. “Look what
I
found!”
Professor Parrot took out his eyeglass case from under
his wings, took out his eyeglasses, and put them on. He
looked at Henry.
“He says he’s a pickle-bird, or a pickle-fish,” said
Perry. “What’s that, Professor?
“I’m just a plain pickle,” said Henry.
Professor Parrot took out the book from under
him.
“What’s that?” asked Henry.
“It’s my library,” said the Professor. “It’s a
dictionary I borrowed from the zoo library. I took it
along when I flew away. Now don’t
worry
! We’ll find
out what you are! This book has everything in it,
from A
to Z
! You’re in here too!”
“How could I be in there and out here at the same
time?” asked Henry.
Professor Parrot chuckled. “You aren’t in the book.
Your
definition
is.”
“What’s my definition?” asked Henry.
