REVISED 2006 EDITION Wanted: Two Students . . . Variable Hours . . . Furnish Own Vehicle Randy had a car-if you could call his fourteen-year-old home-customized multi-colored Buick a car. Fred needed a summer job to make money. So right there in the Kennedy High Employment Office they formed a partnership, and went on to land the job with Palmer Pets. With Laurie Palmer as the third team member, they were to transport animals between the various Palmer Pet Shops. The job sounded too good to be true. And it was. They never bargained for complications like a parrot that used language that kids shouldn't know, canaries that nearly got cooked, and a Siamese cat with deep blue eyes, who was absolutely certain that she owned A FIVE-COLOR BUICK.
