Tiny birds and tiny cows

The pet store was almost empty. I was looking for dogs, but all they had left were two short, squat refrigerators of animals.

One housed a box of birds so tiny they looked like toothpicks with small spots of color at the tips. I opened the other refrigerator to find a cardboard container of tiny, tiny cows; ten could fit in the palm of your hand.

I tried to find my way to other pets but stumbled out the wrong door into a giant mall and couldn't find my way back.
