My Spare Time

    I am a middle school student. Though I'm busy with my lessons, my spare time is still colorful.

An animal house lets a bad parrot go away for he likes saying bad words. Now the parrot finds a friend in Amazon's voice app at his new home.

Rocco is a gray parrot. His owner finds that he can use the voice app to play his favorite music,tell jokes and even order food.

Thanks to the app, it helps stop the clever bird from doing shopping. If not, he may really buy some strawberries, ice cream and even a cup.

Mary has the parrot now. She says she takes in the parrot after the animal house lets him out because he often says bad words.

Eric, Rocco's first owner, teaches him bad words. Now he really loves his new home. He talks with the app about 40 times a day.

And he can make different sounds. He can make the sound of a phone, a car, a clock, a door bell, and even the sound of opening or closing the door.
