Pet King

Ideas novel network, the latest chapter of the latest pet king!

Fina actively requested to enter the game to sleep on the return trip. Since it knew that the flight would not fly over Egypt, it was too lazy to waste time. The seat of the aircraft was not comfortable, and it even frightened it when taking off and landing.

Zhang Zi'an agreed, and just saved one air ticket, just bought a Richard seat.

When he came to the United States, Richard's seat was close to the aisle. When he returned, he learned to be smart and asked to sit by the window, while Zhang Zi'an sat next to it.

As soon as he got on the plane, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the flight attendant on this flight was of good quality, tall and young, and could tolerate his looks. I do n’t know if it ’s United ’s Thanksgiving great reward ... So, I got on the plane and his Eyes have been reluctant to leave several flight attendants.

Richard jumped to his seat and looked out at the Los Angeles International Airport in the misty rain through the porthole.

A silver-grey giant bird is docked on the runway. From time to time, planes take off or land. Airport shuttle buses carry passengers between various terminals. Even on rainy days, this third-largest US airport is still a busy scene.

The surrounding passengers talked in various languages ​​whether the rainy day would affect the normal departure of the flight, but so far, no delayed departure broadcast has been received from the captain.

Richard found it a bit boring. Zhang Zi'an made great progress in speaking during this trip to the United States. Ordinary conversations can be communicated normally without the help of him. And he doesn't speak at all now. His eyes are even more busy than the airport shuttle bus ...

Knowing this already, it simply asked how good it would be to go back to sleep in the game, and when it was home, it could make a big noise while Zhang Zi'an was making up.

...

She sat in a window seat and waited quietly for the plane to take off. On the right hand side is a rude middle-aged man, with sharp and sharp eyes, and she looked at her from time to time with a critical look, as if looking at the goods for sale-this kind of eyes always reminded her ex-husband, and She was sure that at some point after the plane took off, he would definitely find a chance to talk to her.

So she took the laptop out of the suitcase, opened it, put it on her lap, started the document, and pretended to be very busy. She has no plans to start her next relationship, at least not now.

The document is a generally completed speech, and only a few minor details need to be fixed.

In recent years, she has become accustomed to writing such speeches, even more frequently than her academic reports, and is running around to raise funds for the Alex Foundation. Some people can understand the content of her speech, some people can't, and accuse her of being too aggressive. Today, there are still people who think that Alex is just another joke. It is a copy of the horse named "Smart Hans." It is an air tower, and there is no evidence to support it.

Yes, there is no evidence to support it, because the only "evidence" has left the world forever.

There are several other African Grey Parrots in her institute, which are all outstanding, but none are as good as Alex. It was a genius-she confirmed it more and more after it left.

As Alex's deeds gained her fame, the laboratory's funding gradually eased, and there was no need to let Alex, along with two other parrots and a large living person, squeeze into a small room of less than 6 square meters, as it did years ago. These are the legacy of Alex, but unfortunately it has not been enjoyed.

She turned her head slightly, staring at her face in the reflection of the porthole. She wore a gray-black suit with a turtleneck sweater. Los Angeles today was a bit cold, but she was a bit old. Her face had many more wrinkles than she had ten years ago, and her skin was weak.

Ten years have passed since Alex died, and she still can't let it go.

Why is Grey Parrot?

Many people asked her this question, so much so that she had to put the answer to this sentence in the first paragraph of the speech.

The African Grey Parrot is one of the most popular pets for humans. Parrots as pets appeared in ancient Egyptian murals more than 4,000 years ago. They are the easiest to learn and the clearest way to express human language.

She stared at the Los Angeles International Airport in the misty rain and couldn't help recalling that when she first met Alex, she was at a pet shop near Chicago O'Hare International Airport. At the time, she was only 1 year old and squatted with eight other birds. The cage was waiting to be adopted, and she picked it, a one in nine chance.

A huge Boeing 787 airliner is parked on the runway not far away. Such a behemoth is generally an international flight route. She can't help guessing where the plane will fly? Russia? China? Australia? Or some other distant country? The airport passenger car has been evacuated, the cabin doors are closed, and the 787 is following the instructions of the control tower and is ready to take off to clear the runway at any time.

The captain's broadcast sounded in the cabin:

"The plane is about to take off soon. Now the cabin crew is conducting a security check. Please sit down, fasten your seat belts, and put away the seat back and small table. Please make sure your belongings are properly placed on your luggage above your head Under the seat and seat. This flight is non-smoking throughout. Please do not smoke during the flight. "

She pursed her lips, closed the lid of the laptop, and hugged it in her arms. She seemed to be taking the airplane one step ahead.

After a while, the plane trembled slightly, taxiing slowly, gradually accelerating, and surpassing the 787 parked on the runway from behind.

The two aircraft passed by, her eyes seemed to catch a familiar gray in one of the 787's cabin windows. She snorted softly and quickly turned her side, trying to keep the gray in view for a second or two.

Because of the misty rain and the long distance, she didn't look very real, but she was sure that it was an African gray parrot. After all, she was too familiar with their body shape.

A gray parrot following the owner in the cabin!

If you are not mistaken, its owner is probably her fellow scientist. As she did many years ago, she applied for a scientific research certificate so that she can go with her without having to be kept in a cage-she is very happy for it This shows that the host loves it and cares about how it feels.

For a moment, she couldn't help wondering if it would be Alex, but then laughed at herself, shook her head, and dispelled this crazy thought from her mind. She must have missed Alex too much to have such unrealistic thoughts.

It has been ten years since Alex died on September 6, 2007 ...

The plane trembled again, with its nose tilted upwards, leaving the runway lightly and throwing itself into the arms of the sky.

The 787 on the ground became smaller and smaller, and it seemed to have started to taxi on the runway, and was about to take off.

She straightened her body and rested against the back of the seat.

It's been ten years and it's time to let go.

This may be her last speech ~ www.readwn.com ~ because she is going to retire. She no longer worry about the inheritance of Alex's legacy. Like the scientist in the 787 just now, didn't she bring a gray parrot for scientific research? It must be very good, it may be as good as Alex, otherwise it will not be so easy to get scientific proof accompanying the cabin. Its owner must have done a great job, even better than her, because she never took Alex abroad.

She was very relieved that others and Parrot were continuing on the path she had worked with Alex.

She looks forward to it, and looks forward to seeing that gray parrot on TV some day in the future, and seeing news all over the world exclaiming for it. She sincerely hopes it will stay healthy and go further than Alex.

The cabin broadcast sounded again:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have left Los Angeles for Chicago. During this journey, we prepared lunch for you. We will broadcast you when we serve."

She has decided that after leaving Chicago Airport, go to the original pet shop decades ago to see if the pet shop is still there. If so, she is going to choose another parrot from the shop. Gray. This time not for scientific research, but to accompany myself through the rest of my retirement.

Full of longing, she smiled at the corner of her mouth.

...

The stewardess also sat in the exclusive seat of the flight attendant, and Zhang Zi'an's sight was blocked, and then he reluctantly regained his gaze.

He glanced at Richard and reminded him, "The plane is about to take off-I heard this English correctly, don't you? You should sit down quickly! I said, you got cervical spondylosis or what happened when you arrived in the US? If you're fine, what do you want to do? What's up in the sky? Gray machine? "

Richard blinked quickly and said calmly, "Nothing, Grandpa Ben's eyes are in the sand again."
