"I want to deliver mail one day. I will be a postman. I'll live somewhere like here and I'll deliver post with my van. Maybe I'll have a puppy instead of a cat though, cats are scratchy." And he had been scratched by one in his last house so he was wary of cats more than dogs. He let Holden hug him, not used to being hugged but he allowed it because he had cereal and Postman Pat to soften him up.

He looked at Holden, curious if this was an act or if he was really like this.

"Can we go to see the chickens? Are they friendly? Do they hurt?" He didn't want to get beaked by a mean chicken but he did want to say hello.
