There once was a woman, who wanted nothing as much as a talking parrot.
Tirelessly, she constantly searched online, visited pet stores everywhere, and quickly discovered how expensive a talking bird can cost. This discouraged her a great deal, because she still had a family that didn't have a lot of extra income.
One day, a detour forced her to take an abnormal route home. As she turned down the new streets, she noticed a run down pet store amongst the derelict homes. In the front window read a sign: "Talking Parrot $50". She excitedly pulled over to see this incredible deal.
Upon entering the store, a grizzled shopkeeper greeted her. She wanted the parrot. In the corner, a beautiful Scarlet Macaw stared at her.
"Does he talk?"
"Of course he does, but he has a bit of a mouth on him. He's been returned several times. I just want him gone."
During her visit to the store, the parrot didn't make a sound. On the ride home, again, the parrot just stared at her. Upon arriving at her home, the bird looked around and finally spoke.
"Hmm, new house, new madam."
The woman was ecstatic about how clearly he spoke, and quickly brought the bird inside to show her two daughters. When the bird seen the daughters admiring him, he spoke again.
"Hmm, new house, new madam, new girls."
They didn't quite understand, but they put the birds cage in the dining room and covered him with a sheet. She was going to surprise her husband with the incredible deal she had found.
A couple hours later, the bird hadn't made another sound. The husband came home and the family sat down for dinner. He asked what was under the sheet, and the wife quickly pulled the sheet off the cage.
The bird looked around, cocked his head sideways when he seen the man, and spoke yet again.
"Hmm, new house, new madam, new girls."
"How are you doing Ray?"
