Zhang Zian picked up a zip-lock bag with some assorted dried fruit in it which was left by Little Celery. He threw the bag onto his shoulder, and Richard caught the bag nicely with its beak.
"Quack!" When it opened its mouth, the plastic bag fell. It quickly bowed its head to pick up the bag again, and flew onto the cashier desk. Richard loosened its beak, and the bag fell on the desk.
"Quack! Quack! Why are you being so nice to me today, Jeff?" it cried noisily.
"It seems you are somewhat valuable," said Zhang Zian while he was cleaning up the food bowls of his three cat elves.
Richard clenched the plastic bag with its claws, pecked open the bag, and poured all the dried fruits onto the desk. It kept pecking the fruit, yet it did not stop talking even when its mouth was full.
