The Story of the Smartest Parrot

no other 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? Say 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
