Storyline
| Plot Summary |
This year, for her husband Murray's birthday celebration, his loving and supportive wife has decided to buy him a pet for a present. So, off she goes to the nearest pet shop, not to buy him a dog or a pussycat or even a monkey, but the most exotic and rare house pet one has ever seen: the inconspicuous, yet highly trained crunch bird. Let's just hope this beautiful gift will take Murray's mind off the bills, after all, it is such a lovely little birdie. Written by Nick Riganas |
