For a few moments he heard the bird kick and cry {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in it. Then suddenly it was quiet-not a sound for half a minute. David was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly opened the fridge door. The parrot quietly {#blank#}6{#/blank#} out onto David's arm and said，"I believe that I may have made you angry {#blank#}7{#/blank#} me about my impolite language and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} . I will try my best at once to be polite. I am really sorry and beg {#blank#}9{#/blank#} pardon. "
