Sarah: One day my very old aunt, Mary, died. She was very old and we were very close. So I was not surpised when I was left something in her will. But it was not jewellery or money or anything like that-it was a parrot! When it arrived at my house I thought it could only say things like "Pretty Polly!" But it said to me, "My name is Sarquon, Lord of Parrots, and I am prepared to serve: what is my first assignemnt?"
