Have you ever done anything unusual in your life? Not yourself? Maybe some of your friends? Or maybe some of your neighbours? This story is about one of my neighbours - Mr Watts - whom I have known for eleven years and who has done things more than unusual in his life. His name is Albert and we have been on the first name terms ever since he moved into the house next to mine. Albert has been sharing his extraordinary ideas with me since we became friends. Sometimes, he even asked me to help him put his plans into action. And his plans are really crazy at times.
For example. Three years ago he made up his mind to paint his house in pink spots. Later, he decided to build an amusement park in this garden. The other day, he bought a pair of parrots and taught them to speak. Since the day he started living in our neighbourhood people have made fun of him. Few of them know that in 1992 Albert's name appeared in the Guinness' Book of Records. Why? Because he constructed the tiniest piano in the world - a piano for fleas as calls it. Oh, I haven't told you yet that he also keeps fleas at home. They are trained fleas. Albert Watts has taught them to jump when wants them to and to play this tiny piano. I know you cannot imagine it all and you think my neighbour is a crazy man. Well, I agree but for sure he has never let us be sad and bored.
