Pirate Peter and the Pig

Peter was a pirate. One day he went into a pet shop. I’d like a parrot, he said. I’m sorry, said the pet shop owner. I’ve run out of parrots. Would you like a pig instead? The pet shop owner manages to sell our pirate a whole list of ‘alternative items’ that he doesn’t really want, with hilarious results. This is the funniest read-aloud we’ve seen in a very long time! Read this Monty Python-esque story aloud to your colleagues (oh, all right-and the kids) and enjoy their reactions.
