The Smartest Parrot
Once
upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The
parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name
of the place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the
smartest parrot but he could not understand why the parrot would not say
Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano however the bird kept not
saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice
to the bird but then he got very angry. “You stupid bird!” pointed the man to
the parrot. “Why can’t you say the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill you” the
man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it.
Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say Catano or
I’ll kill you”. The bird kept not to say the word of Catano.
One day, after he had
been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man really got
very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the
chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid
as the chickens. Just stay with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued
to humble; “You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your
turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot”. After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to
the chicken house. He opened the door and was very surprised. He could not
believe what he saw at the chicken house. There were three death chickens on
the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the
last old chicken; “Say Catano or I’ll kill you”.
