The Captain's Parrot
A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week
so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only
one problem:
The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick.
Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show,
"Look, It's not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under
the table!" or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"
The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all,
the Captain's' parrot.
Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank,
drowning almost all who were on board. The magician luckily found
himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate
would have it ... with the parrot.
They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word.
This went on for a day... and then 2 days ... and then 3 days. Finally
on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said...
"OK, I give up. Where's the ship?"
