The Faithless Parrot

"The Faithless Parrot" by Charles H. Bennett is a delightful children's story from the Victorian period. It shows the importance of love and faithfulness through a group of animal friends. The story revolves around Fido, a dog with a big heart, who is completely gone for Tittums, a tortoiseshell cat. When a colorful parrot named Mr. Paul arrives and wins Tittums over with fancy promises and adventure, Fido is crushed but tries to warn Tittums that the parrot isn't telling the truth. The story comes to a head when Tittums finds Mr. Paul trying to charm Widow Daw, revealing the parrot's two-faced nature. Tittums, realizing Fido's true loyalty and affection, knows how she truly feels, and the parrot must face the music for his deceit.
