Question

Peggy was a good girl, but she didn’t like talking to others. It changed when she and her family moved to a new place.

At the new place, Peggy found an old house near theirs. There were many old things in it. She found an old book. It could shine. Then Peggy took the book to her room. That night, she sat with her dog and started reading it. It was a storybook.

Then her dog suddenly started speaking to her, “What an interesting book!”

Peggy couldn’t believe it, but the dog continued. It told her many things and asked her questions. Peggy was surprised and asked, “How can you speak?”

“I don’t know,” answered the dog. “Maybe it was the book that did it.”

Peggy showed the book to some other animals. They all started talking, too. Soon Peggy talked with a dog, three cats, two doves(鴿子), a parrot, and five lizards(蜥蜴).
