The Story
of the Smart Parrot
A man in Puerto Rico had a wonderful
parrot. There was no another parrot like it.
It was very, very smart. This parrot
would say any word-except one. He would not say the name of the town where he
was born. The name of the town was Catano.
The man tried to teach the parrot to
say Catano. But the bird would not say the word. At first the man was very
nice, but then he got angry. “You are a stupid bird! Why can’t you say the
word? Sat Catano, or I will kill you!” but the parrot would not say it. Then
the man got to so angry that the shouted over and over, “Say Catano, or I’ll
kill you!” but the bird wouldn’t talk.
One day after trying for many hours
to make the bird say Catano, the man got very angry. He picked up the bird and threw
him into the chicken house. “You are more stupid than the chickens. Soon I will
eat them, and I will eat you, too.”
In the chicken house there are four
old chickens. They were for Sunday’s dinner. The man put the parrot in the
chicken house and left.
The next day the man came back to
the chicken house. He opened the door and stopped. He was very surprised at
what he saw!
He saw three dead chickens on the
floor. The parrot was screaming at the fourth chicken, “Say Catano, or I’ll
kill you!
