I Wish I Looked Like That

They all gaze at the parrot in New Acqusitions.

It certainly looks like a parrot.

But then again not.

Those teeth, spikes and curly whiskers, says Minnie. 

But the shape of the head, says Katherine.

What do you think, Prong? asks Minnie.

I wish I looked like that, says Prong.

You can see inside its belly, says Terence.

I wouldn't mind, says Prong. And I'd love curly whiskers.

You look good as you are, says Katherine.

We could find you some whiskers, says Terence.

Not here, says Minnie.

Later, says Terence. 

I'll take a photo, says Katherine. Stand in front of it Terence.

Terence stands in front of the New Acquistion with Prong's head poking out from the front of his shorts.

That looks a bit funny, says Katherine. 

It'd look better with Prong on Terence's shoulder, says Minnie.

Okay, says Terence. Come up here, Prong.

Prong squeezes out from the shorts' waistband and claws her way up to Terence's shoulder.

Click! Katherine takes a photo.

Can we see it? asks Terence.

Katherine shows them the photo.

Terence, Prong on his shoulder, and behind them the New Acquistion.

You can see it's head but not all of its body.

I'll take another one, says Katherine, This time, stand more to one side.

And then take one so it looks like the curly whiskers are mine,  says Prong.

Oh yes, do, says Minnie. 

All right, says Katherine.

This will be hard to set up.

Terence must stand so Prong's head is directly in front of the head of the New Acquistion, and Prong must then turn her head sideways.

Finally....

That's perfect! says Minnie.

Click! Katherine snaps the photo.

Quick! says Minnie. An attendant is coming!

Prong slips back down into Terence's shorts.

Minnie, Katherine, Terence, and Prong exit the gallery, leaving the New Acquistion to its spiked, toothy, xray-bellied, curly-whiskered existence.
