Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge.

Parrot's a very wise old bird,
She can speak English well, I've heard;
Laughs and says in manner jolly:
"Have you a cracker for Miss Polly?"

"PUSS I PUSS I SCRATCH POLLY'S POLL."
Did you ever hear of a cat and a parrot making friends with each other? Well, such a strange friendship has been known at least once. The cat and bird I am telling you about were called "Puss" and "Polly," and had been brought up together in the same family. They did many funny things, but the funniest sight of all was to see the parrot bow her head in front of the cat and screech: "Puss! Puss! Scratch Polly's poll!"
Whenever she did this, Puss would gravely do as she was told, and would scratch and scratch with her sharp claws until Polly's head felt quite comfortable again. Then the bird would brighten up and say, "Thank you, Puss! Thank you!"
This trick was so well known in the village that the children on their way to school often stopped to see it. At times Polly did not seem to mind, but at other times she would shout: "Be off with you, bad children- be off to school!" And away they would scamper, for if they didn't, Polly would come and peck at them.
This friendship lasted for years, and when Puss died the Parrot felt so lonely that for days she would not eat and would say over and over, "Poor Puss! Poor Puss!" Henry Altemus Company.
