Once upon a time, there was a clever parrot named Polly. Polly loved to learn new words. Every day, she would sit on her branch and listen to the people talk.
One day, Polly heard a little girl say, "Hello, pretty bird!" Polly wanted to learn how to say that too. So, she practiced and practiced. Finally, she could say it just like the girl.
The next day, the little girl came back. Polly said, "Hello, pretty girl!" The girl was so happy. She said, "Oh, you are a very clever parrot, Polly!" Polly was proud of herself for learning something new. And from that day on, Polly and the little girl were the best of friends.
