Timmy was surprised to see a talking parrot in his garden. Polly said, 'Hello, Timmy! I can teach you new words and their meanings. Would you like to learn?' Timmy's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he eagerly nodded yes.

Polly started with simple words like 'cat' and 'dog.' She pointed to Timmy's pet cat and said, 'This is a cat. Cat says meow.' Timmy repeated after Polly and petted his cat as he said, 'meow.'

Next, Polly taught Timmy about 'tree' and 'bird.' She pointed to a tall tree in the garden and said, 'This is a tree. Birds live in trees.' Timmy listened carefully and watched as a little bird hopped from branch to branch.

One day, while they were learning about 'kindness,' Timmy noticed his little sister crying. He quickly went to her and gave her a hug. Polly smiled and said, 'Timmy, you showed kindness by comforting your sister. Well done!'

Polly taught Timmy that listening is important. She said, 'When we listen carefully, we can understand others and learn new things. Good listening helps us be kind and helpful.' Timmy nodded and hugged Polly to show how much he had learned.
