Poor Parrot

A lady who was very lonesome bought a parrot from a pet shop, complete with cage. Before purchasing it she got a guarantee that the parrot would talk. She took the parrot home. In a week and a half she returned to the shop very disappointed.

Lady: "The parrot doesn't talk."

Shop owner: "Did you buy a mirror?"

Lady: "No."

Shop owner: "Every parrot needs a mirror."


So she bought a mirror and installed it in the parrot's cage. Another week and a half went by and she returned.

Lady: "The parrot still doesn't talk."

Shop owner: "Did you buy a ladder?"

Lady: "No."

Shop owner: "Every parrot needs a ladder."



So she bought a ladder and installed it in the cage. Another week and a half passed and she returned.
Lady: "The parrot still doesn't talk."

Shop owner: "Did you buy a swing?"

Lady: "No."

Shop owner: "Every parrot needs a swing."
So she bought a swing and installed it in the cage. A week and a half later she returned. She was furious! The shop owner asked, "Did the parrot talk?"

Lady: "Yes but he died!"

Shop owner: "Oh, that's terrible. What did he say before he died?""

Lady: "He said 'Don't they have any food down at that store?'"
