Of Adventure

1 Up in Bill`s aero-plane
Kiki the parrot was annoyed. She had been left all alone for a day, and she talked angrily to herself. `What a pity, what a pity, what a pity, poor, poor Polly! Ding-dong bell, pussy`s down the well, good morning, good morning! Mrs Mannering put her head in at the door of the room where Kiki was sitting.

dto yourself all day like that! The children will soon be back. Ding~dong bell, said KIKI mournfully, and made a cracking noise with her beak. I suppose you miss Jack,said Mrs. Mannering, coming into the room and shutting the door carefully after her. He wont be long now, Kiki. Youll hear him and the others at any minute. Now be a good bird and dont make any more noises. Kiki opened her beak, swelled up her beak and gave her famous imitation of an express train screeching on entering a tunnel. Mrs. Mannering put her hands to her ears. Naughty Kiki, naughty! How many times have I told you not to do that? How many times have I told you to shut the door, shut the door, shut the door, answered back Kiki, and ruffled her feathers

so cheekily that Mrs. Mannering gave her a tap on her beak. Funny little old bird, she said. Ah that sounds like the children coming back. Theyve been up in an aero-plane, Kiki! Fancy that! Thats why you had to be left alone all day. Jack, Jack, Jack! Screamed Kiki, hearing the voice of her owner. Four children burst into the room,their faces red with excitement Hallo all of you,said Mrs Mannering
