Doctor Dolittle's Pets

• Doctor John Dolittle was a clever doctor who lived in a small town called Puddleby-on-the-Marsh.
• All the people, young and old, knew him well by sight.
• Whenever he walked down the street in his high hat, everyone would say, "There goes the Doctor!—He's a clever man."
• His house was quite small, but his garden was very large.
• He was very fond of animals and kept many kinds of pets, including goldfish in the pond at the bottom of his garden, rabbits in the pantry, white mice in his piano, a squirrel in the linen closet, and a hedgehog in the cellar.
• He had a cow with a calf, an old lame horse-twenty-five years of age, and chickens, and pigeons, and two lambs.
• But his favorite pets were Dab-Dab the duck, Jip the dog, Gub-Gub the baby pig, Polynesia the parrot, and the owl Too-Too.
• His sister used to grumble about all these animals and said they made the house untidy.
