He is a painter or he is a writer\nor he is a sculptor. Life means to him his art. Everything else is\nsecondary.

Though\nhe has no conception of what his face looks like, he does know\nabout his feet and should realize from the first that he is\ndifferent.\nHe doesn't know where to place his tongue or when to move\nhis chin, yet he makes a pretty fair success at talking. And\nfor anybody to explain the proper method to him would prob-\nably only muddle him up. All he has to do is to listen care-\nfully/ and he can judge from the sound of a word how it is to\nbe spoken. He doesn't even have to watch the person's lips.\nIt is a splendid accomplishment and brings some satisfaction\nto the parrot, because he can see that people think he is a smart\nbird.
