why this job captured the imagination of



     her young son.  But how does a person


     help teach a bird to speak?



            “Just what would your job entail?”


     Susan asked.



            Jace shrugged.  “I don’t know


     exactly.  I have never taught a bird to



     speak before.  But I’m sure it can’t be


     that hard.  I think that I will probably sit



     in the room with the birds and just say


     certain phrases over and over.”



            “But why does she need you to do



     that?” Susan asked.  “It would seem she


     could do that herself.”



            Jace’s eyebrows knit together, and


     he shrugged.  “I’d never thought of that.



     Maybe she’s just too busy.”
