Lizard Of Oz

in funny •  6 years ago 

I could use a pet as well, that was what I said to myself. So I went to a pet store to get an adorable pet I can get. I surf through the whole store but I couldn't get any. I was about leaving the store when something amazing caught my attention. Posted boldly on its cage, it was written "The Lizard of OZ".

Wow, that some magical Lizard I said to myself. It could make all my wishes come through and I may become the richest man on earth. Without hesitation, I paid for the lizard and I took my new pet home.
I kept watching over it like who is keeping tabs on a diamond. It wasn't long after I bought my first pet, my boss called me to report to work. I spent a few days away from home doing some business matters for the company I work for.

After a long business trip, I returned home hoping to see my cute Lizard Of Oz chilling in this cage with some insects I fed it, instead, I met my house turned inside-out with some feathers littered everywhere. I followed the feathers trail to see where they lead to and to my surprise, it was my pet Lizard who has grown bigger over the days into a big lizard that I can't really recognise. I quickly called the pet store to report what I saw. I was asked to if the Lizard hasn't eaten any human around me. I was furious with the question asked and then I asked the storekeeper for the reason he asked.
Trust me, folks, his answer became my nightmare. He told me that I bought an alligator as a pet, stating that what was written on its cage was Lizard of O2 (water) not Lizard of OZ.
I moved out of my apartment without taking any stuff.
