My New Pet (Who Doesn't Mind Fireworks By The Way)

[Canary42]

I was lonely and decided life would be more fun if I had a small pet.

I went to the pet store and told them that I wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, I finally bought a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for its house.

I took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided I would start off by taking my new pet out for a drink. So I asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to the pub with me and have a beer?" But there was no answer.

This bothered me a bit, but I waited a few minutes and then asked again, "How about going down the pub and having a drink with me?" But again, there was no answer from my new friend. So I waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.

Then I decided to ask him one more time; this time putting my face close to the centipede's house, I yelled, "Hi in there! Would you like to go to the pub and have a drink with me?

After a short pause, a little voice came out of the box ..........

"I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."
