Unit 6

Unit 6 Bird-brained! LESSON 11 Have you done your homework yet, Lucy? I'm just taking a break, Mum. I've found this really strange story on the eNews Website. Come and have a look. An eight-year-old peacock in Shropshire has fallen hopelessly in love with a petrol pump. Every day for the last three years, Mr. P. , the peacock, has made the three-hundred-metre journey along the main road from his home to the busy petrol station. There, he opens up his tail feathers, and shows off to a line of petrol pumps. The pumps make a clicking noise when someone is filling up. To Mr. P. , this sounds just like an admiring peahen. One pump in particular has won Mr. P. 's admiration. He has been faithful to this pump since he was five. Mr. P. has lost interest in the peahens at home. Clearly, they can't compete with the glamorous petrol pump.
