Mardie Montabes has always been a man of great optimism. No matter how bleak the situation, he could always find a reason to smile. This unwavering positivity was put to the test one fateful day when Mardie's beloved pet parrot, Polly, flew the coop.
Mardie was devastated. He searched high and low for his feathered friend, but to no avail. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, with no sign of Polly. Just when Mardie was about to give up hope, he received a letter in the mail.
The letter was from a bird sanctuary in a neighboring town. It said that they had found a parrot that matched Polly's description. Mardie was overjoyed! He jumped in his car and drove to the sanctuary as fast as he could.
When Mardie arrived at the sanctuary, he was greeted by a friendly volunteer who led him to a cage. Inside, there was a beautiful parrot that looked just like Polly. Mardie's heart skipped a beat. He opened the cage door and the parrot flew out and landed on his shoulder.
It was Polly!
Mardie was so happy to have his beloved pet back that he started to cry. He hugged Polly tightly and whispered, "I never thought I'd see you again."
Polly squawked happily and rubbed her head against Mardie's cheek.
Mardie and Polly were reunited at last. They went home and lived happily ever after. The end.
