Herbie preferred to look at all the other birds flying in the air.As usual, on a warm summer day, Herbie was sitting in the sun in the yard. Karen was eating her breakfast inside the house. And I was sitting in their yard, watching Herbie preening his feathers. “Hi, Herbie. How are you today?”I asked. He answered in his sweet voice as if he knew what 1 was saying. I walked over to his cage. I noticed his water bowl had tipped over and the water had spilled out.I decided to open the cage door and take out the bowl so I could refill it for him.

I asked my dad if he would drive me to the pet shop. “I have to fix this, Dad,” I said firmly. Dad nodded, smiling.
