Story 28. Lizzy the Lizard

My father never liked my pet lizard, Lizzy.

He always said, “I don't trust anything with a tongue like that!”

One day, I came home and Lizzy was sitting on my father's shoulder.

I was so surprised.

“What is going on?” I asked.

“Lizzy just ate a big mosquito!” Dad said.

You see, the only thing my dad hates more than lizards is mosquitoes.

You can sit on my shoulder now!
