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”
