Paul Parrot

  It is said that birds of a feather flock together, but not so with Paul? He was from the Tunisian Parrots, though some say that he hailed from the jungles of Viet Nam? His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Parrot, had gotten used to only seeing their son on family occasions. When Paul would fly off, they rarely knew where he was at all? You see, from a very early age, some say as early as elementary school, Paul would rarely play with the other parrots, but seemed to enjoy playing with other birds, birds that were not like him. Early on, Paul would play mostly with the Crows, a bird that was loud and annoying to most, more so for the older birds then the young. But even his parrot friends didn't understand why he would choose those annoying birds, rather then to choose to hang out with them?
  But it was to become a set way of his life, and even now, long after grade school, Paul would often choose birds who were different then himself. But now, now that he is older, and Paul is an accomplished flyer, Paul's desire to investigate birds and exotic places which were far different from his home and the birds of his own kind only increased. You might say that Paul marched to the beat of a different drummer, but of course that wouldn't make sense, because very few birds of any kind play the drums. It would be more correct to say about Paul, that he was a bird who couldn't care less about another's feathers. He just looked to be around birds who said and did interesting things, and because of this, Paul has had many fine adventures, but also, no small amount of trouble? The trouble would come when those birds who were different from himself, resented his being around! This was especially true if Paul was to take an interest in the girl birds of whatever group he was in. Then, the boy birds of that group would sometimes get so mad that they would look to fight with him? Now it wasn't that Paul was a chicken, afterall, he was a parrot, but he really wasn't afraid either. But he rarely fought, in fact, there was only the one time, at least so far as Paul could remember? But life was too good to fight and dwell on negative things, and more often then not, when a fight seemed to be imminent, Paul would just say goodbye to his new friends, and fly off.
