Conversation in an Alley

The dog said to the cat "Hello, my name is Albert."

And the cat laughed.  "Albert, you are a silly thing.  Perhaps you need more attention from your owner."

Albert frowned and said "I don't have an owner."  A pidgeon flew into the alley where Albert and the cat were talking.

The pidgeon said "What are you two talking about?"

The cat said "Albert doesn't have an owner."

"Hmm," responded the pidgeon with quick darts of its head this way and that, "My name is Terry."

Albert thought the pidgeon was being rather intrusive.  "Beat it," he said to Terry.

Instead of the pidgeon leaving, however, the cat pranced off. 

"Wait," called Albert after the cat, "I never got your name."

But the cat had disappeared and Albert was left with only Terry for company.
