NEW NEIGHBOR SAM
"Why must all your pets be so annoying?" Skipper muttered as Gilligan got up to fetch the water.
"Sorry Skipper," Gilligan apologized.
"It's all right, little buddy, but now we have a frog named Herman, a duck named Gretchen and now Sam, the parrot," the Skipper went on.
"Yeah, but I can't abandon them. It would be like abandoning you, big buddy," Gilligan answered as he set down the water.
The Skipper smiled, touched at his friend's big heart. "All right, you made your point. Sam has to go join your other 'friends' tomorrow, though," he finished, and Gilligan nodded.
"Sure Skipper, I'll take Sam out for a bit so you can sleep," he said, and lifted up the cage.
"Oooohhhh. Sam's a pretty bird. Isn't Sam a pretty bird?" Sam said, as he was put on the table.
"Yes, Sam. Now go to sleep, pretty bird," Gilligan answered, and took out his diary.
