Angelica's New Friend
Hello， children！ I am Angelica the green parrot， and I live on board a ship. I belong to the captain， and my cage is in his cabin.
My cage is a lovely one. It is long， and shaped like a ship， and made of brass wire. My master laughs， and says I am the captain of my own ship！
The other day I had such a surprise！ My master came into his cabin carrying another cage. There was a tiny white bird inside.
“Heave-ho， Angelica！” cried my master. “Here is a new friend for you. A white canary and she sings very well. You must not be jealous. Jackie gave him to me.”
Jackie is the captain's pretty little daughter. But， just the same， I was jealous.
“What's your name？” I screamed.
“Snowbird，” piped the canary. “What a beautiful color you are！ I have never seen anyone like you before.”
I felt rather pleased， so I began to walk about and ring bells loudly. The little bird chirped softly.
“How clever you are， and what a lovely house you have. Have you lived there long？”
“I have lived here with my master as long as I can remember，” I replied. “Can you dance， Snowbird？”
“No！” said Snowbird. “I can't do anything clever like you. But Jackie enjoys my singing. Would you like to hear me， Miss Angelica？”
Now I like being called Miss Angelica. And the little bird was trying to be friends， so I said：
“Sing away， Snowbird！”
Then he hoped about， and all at once he began to trill.
Well， it was lovely！ I had never heard such a beautiful voice before.
When he had finished his song I gave a loud shriek of applause.
“You are a very sweet singer. I am so glad you have come to keep me company，” I said.
Snowbird's eyes shone with pride. And ever since we have been the best of friends！
