How John trained his parrot!
John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot was fully grown with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary
. Every other word was a curse
Those that weren't curses were to say the least, rude.
John tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite things
. Words and playing soft music
...anything he could think of
. Nothing worked.
He yelled at the bird
and the bird got worse. He shook the bird and the bird got madder
and more rude. Finally in a moment of desperation, John
put the parrot in the freezer to get a minute of peace
.
For a few moments he heard the bird swearing
, squawking kicking and screaming and then, suddenly there was absolute quiet
. John was frightened
that he might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's extended arm and said:
"I'm very sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior and I am sure it will never happen again."
John was astounded at the changes in the bird's attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued, "May I ask what the chicken did?"
