Purple Summers brought her friends to the small western-style house for a brief visit, then took them to see the snake enclosure.
Zara Jameson had originally been afraid of pythons, but she had always heard Purple talk about Cleo, so curiosity prevailed. Seeing Cleo wearing a yarn ball hat on her tail made it all the more interesting.
Surprisingly, Max had no reaction to Cleo; instead, he barked incessantly at Tiny until Jane McCain scolded him several times to quiet him down.
"You all have pets, which is really nice," Zara couldn't help but remark.
Purple asked, "Doesn't your family have a myna bird?"
"But that myna isn't mine," Zara said melancholically. "I'd like to have a pet to keep me company, but when I think about it, I don't know what kind of pet I would like."
