If you would have a new pet what would it be and what would you call it?


ESTHER:  A new pet? What a lovely idea. Then maybe you can take care of Abraham? Abraham is my talkative and loud parrot. If you do that , then I will buy myself a stick insect, a walking stick as a pet. Or maybe two. And they may be called anything - as long as they don't talk!
