The owl, Duo, was quite fancy. He was very handsome and preppy and cute, though he was green and plastic. Every week, someone would be able to take him home, and they would record their Spanish progress with him in the background. The first student who was able to take him home was Caleb, who lived next door to Andy.

Caleb, he was a nice kid. He liked Spanish class. He liked Sra. Ricardo. He thought her class was fun. He was jealous of Sor Juana though. She already knew Spanish.

He sat down at the table and borrowed his mother's phone, then turned it on and started recording.

"Hola, me llamo Caleb," Caleb said, with a wave. Duo sat in front of him on the table. "Yo me gusta español." Then he stopped recording and began practicing again. Sra. Ricardo wanted the pronunciation to be just right.
