Time to Fly
“Gran has plans of her own. “We’re taking a little field trip,” she announces.
“Yes!” David pumps his fist in the air. He loves animals—especially horses—but cleanup chores aren’t his favorite part of working at Dr. Mac’s Place.
“Where are we going?” Sunita asks.
“To the zoo,” Gran explains.
Now we all cheer. A zoo trip beats chores any day.
Dr. Gabe stays behind to see patients.
“Keep an eye out for E.T.,” I tell him. “If you hear a parrot talking in the yard, that’s him. Try to get him to stay in the yard until I get back.”
“Well, I’ll be pretty busy minding the clinic,” says Dr. Gabe, laughing. “But I’ll do my best, Zoe.”
Brenna, David, Sunita, Maggie, and I pile into the van. “We’re going to visit a friend of mine who’s an expert on parrots,” Gran tells us. “Maybe she’ll have some ideas about the flock that’s taken over our oak tree.”
When we get to the zoo, we head past the monkeys, past the lions and tigers, straight to the bird house.
