BOOK SUMMARY

The story revolves around a parrot named Petey, who is a playful, colorful, and highly intelligent bird. However, unlike other parrots, Petey refuses to talk. His owners are puzzled and wonder why their pet parrot isn’t speaking as they expected, since parrots are known for mimicking human speech.

Through the course of the story, Petey’s owners try various methods to encourage him to speak, but nothing seems to work. They become increasingly frustrated and concerned. Eventually, they come to realize that Petey’s silence is not a sign of disobedience or a problem but rather a form of communication in itself. The lesson they learn is that sometimes we have to look beyond the obvious and understand that silence, or the lack of typical behavior, can carry meaning too.
