wanted to make an original contribution to knowledge! I
know what I’ll do. I’ll fly back and point out the mistake
to the man who wrote this book! I’ll bring him up-to-
date on pickles! Come! Perry will carry you back home
in his bill, and I’ll submit my advanced knowledge on
pickles to the dictionary people!”
Professor Parrot was all a-flutter. He flew off to tell
Mrs. Parrot where he was going, I end was back in an
instant.
“Come!” he said. “There’s no time to lose. I’ve got
to report my discovery before anyone else finds out. It’s
the opportunity of a lifetime! I’ll be famous. Maybe I’ll
get a job at a University!”
Professor Parrot grasped the dictionary firmly in
his claws, and got ready to fly. “Hurry,” he said. “The
sun’s up! Perfect flying weather!”
