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”.
