For a moment he thought that he would be stepped on by the heavy feet around him. He rolled to the other side of the road. He started to get up.
The bird flew to the washstand and began to squawk and flap his wings. Alec kicked his feet and went on pounding the pillow. It was the first time that he had lost his temper in many months. “Hurry-Up,” said the parrot from across the room. Alec jumped to his feet and began pacing up and down. He walked to the window and heard his mother talking to Uncle Peter. “But, Peter,” he heard her say, “what happened? I haven’t heard the little lion roar for a long time. ” Alec walked away from that side of the room.
