One morning, Paco the Parrot got up very early. He sat on the barn roof and waited for the farm animals to wake up.
The rooster was the first one awake. "Cocka-doodle-doo!" he crowed. Paco imitated him. "Cocka-doodle-doo!" called Paco. The rooster leaped in surprise.
"Moo, moo!" said the cow. "The rooster is very noisy this morning!" "Moo, moo! I can moo too!" said Paco. "Oh my! What was that?" asked the cow.
"Baa, baa! It must be an echo," baaed the sheep. "Baa, baa!" bleated Paco. "It's not thaat!"
"Quack, quack! Don't be silly!! quacked the duck. "There is no echo here!" "Quack, quack! Are you quite sure?" teased Paco.
"Meow, meow!" cried the cat. "Someone must do something about this right meow!" "Meow, meow yourself!" said Paco, laughing.
"Woof, woof! I'll handle this," barked the dog. "Woof, woof!" said Paco. "That's what you think!"
"Hee haw!" brayed the donkey. "This is awful!" "Hee haw! Hee haw!" repeated Paco.
"This isn't funny!" complained the donkey. But Paco didin't stop. "Hee haw! Hee haw! He did not notice the dog creeping up.
"Woof! Woof!" barked the dog very loudly. "Aawk!" screeched Paco in surprise.
"I'm sorry I scared you. I was just having fun," said Paco. "Well, it was quite funny," agreed the animals.
Paco waved goodbye to his friends and flew high over the farm. A train was passing by. "Wooo, wooo," whistled Paco.
