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!
