Adventures of Aimi
“Peacock, Peacock,” said Aimi. “Talk to me. Talk to me.” Silence. Peacock did not talk. “Peacock, Peacock,” Aimi said again. “Talk to me. Please talk to me.” More silence. Peacock did not talk. And then suddenly Peacock opened his mouth and screeched. And how Peacock could screech. And screech. And screech.
“Peacock,” said Aimi, covering her ears with her hands. “Screeching is not talking! Talk to me.”
Peacock did not talk. But he did screech and screech and screech. Finally Peacock stopped screeching and Aimi stopped covering her ears with her hands. She watched Peacock’s beautiful blue and green and gold and copper circle of ‘train” feathers ripple in the breeze as he strutted back and forth and back and forth.
