This is a short story I wrote when I was bored.
Bibble Babble
By: Kaayana Sharma
“Bonjour! Hola! Namaste! Ni hao!”
Meena was unimpressed. “Done?” she asked with a sigh.
They were sitting in the Cockatoo Café. Meena had ordered them two coffees and the two parrots were having a chat.
“I know it in three more languages. But I guess I shouldn’t show too much of my genius in one go.” Bibble fluffed his feathers a bit.
“Bib, you aren’t concentrating on school. Instead, you’re pouring over stupid human books,” Meena said in disgust.
“Oh, school is quite useless. With my knowledge, I could even live in the human world,” Bibble said proudly.
The diners were now silent, listening to their argument with interest.
“Bibble,” said Meena, sounding thoroughly exasperated by now. “Blabbering in different languages will not get you anywhere!”
But Bibble just smiled. “Oh Meena, don’t be jealous, I’ll teach you some languages too.”
Meena groaned and huffed so loudly that some parrots drinking their coffee at the other end of the café looked up to see what was so terribly wrong.
“You’re hopeless,” Meena hissed.
But Bibble just kept on grinning.
The End
