The Parrot that Would Not Talk
A recently widowed lady was very lonely so she decided to buy a dog for companionship. She went to the local pet shop and asked to see the puppies. She explained to the owner of the shop why she wanted a dog. The man responded that for her situation he had something better than a dog. He showed her a parrot. He explained that he had purchased the parrot from the son of a lady that had just passed away. He assured her that the parrot talked all the time and would make her a great companion.
