Screenshot from an excerpt from Merchant’s story, The Parrot With the Golden Feathers, on the World of Imagination website. An open book is framed by stacks of books on the left and right. One the left hand page of the open book, we see an orange origami-like bird. On the right, the story reads “The Parrot With the Golden Feathers: In a far away land on a far away mountaintop lived a very powerful and very scary witch. Her home was in a cave deep inside the mountain. It was so deep inside the mountain. It was so deep that when she made her potions over her large cauldrons, the smoke could not reach the outside. She only left her mountain when she needed to gather ingredients to make new potions and spells. One day, she was running low on the special roses she needed so she hopped on her broom and flew down to the kingdom below.”
