reminder of the things he had done. His schooner had sailed the seven seas and was beginning to show signs of old age, just like her master.

talking parrot. Dogs are kept by homeowners for protection and used by law enforcement to sniff out drugs or bombs.

Humans have kept pets for many years and the pets are usually better cared for than a cow or flock of chickens. One reason is to train the animal for a specific task, such as a Seeing Eye dog or a talking parrot. Another

"Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi! That's all right!" (Chopin 1) are the words hollered by this maddened, caged bird. When translated into English, they are, "Go away! Go away! For heaven's sake!" These expressions aptly represent the forbidden

"How when we die our shades will rove" tells clearly that those mortals may be in a dream, but even this dream is destined to end

The Proboscis Monkey is a mammal that is only found in a relatively small amount of area in the world. It is a odd looking animal known most for its gargantuan nose that hangs over its mouth. The Proboscis Monkey is well adapted to living in the rainforest, but when put in other biomes, it would have a rough time surviving.
