School of Parrots. A story for children about Seryozha.
Seryozha liked to visit the pet store, which was located not far from Seryozha's house.
Seryozha was talking with the seller and was inspecting the animals sitting in cages.
One day, the seller, talking about parrots, mysteriously mentioned about one of them: "This one is from the Senate!"
"Did they bring this parrot from Italy itself, from the very Italy?!" - Seryozha was amazed.
The seller silently directed his look up, upward.
Seryozha began to reflect after this incident.
Now many trainers (of animals), conductors and other people of creative professions are held in high esteem.
Seryozha decided to train parrots.
If the parrot was lazy, then Seryozha withdruw a small feather from him. Or he borrowed a cat from a pet store and placed the cat next to the parrot's cage. Seryozha came up with other methods of training.
Parrots quickly got used to discipline.
If some parrot was making outstanding progress, then Seryozha would go to the pet store and say: "A great parrot! I want to buy a worm for him!"
Gradually, Seryozha received the moral right to be called the founder of the "Parrot School".
Training parrots promised glory. However, it was troublesome business, and costly one.
Parrots have achieved great success. They could even pronounce complex word-combinations from the world of numbers: "ten twenty-fifths", "thirty forty-fifths", "fifty forty-seventh" and so on.
Seryozha decided not to waste any more time on training parrots and on acquiring the fame of a trainer (of animals) and returned the talking parrots back to the pet store.
The profit turned out to be relatively small.
But Seryozha got important things: a success story and a useful experience.
In general, Seryozha was pleased.
He continued his visits to the pet store and looked with interest at the animals displayed there for sale.
