Bert seized the bird by tha throat. "Say 'Hello, Uncle,' or I'll wring your bloomin' neck," h roared. And when silence continued hs twisted the bird's neck and threw ft into the fowl pen. Queer squawks drew him to the fowl pen next morning. On the ground were three dead hens. Tha parrot had a fourth by the neck, shaking him and shouting: "Say, 'Hello, Uncle,' or I'll wring your bloomin' neck." |
