Read the text below carefully!

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 never 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 never saying 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”.
