雙語(yǔ)笑話(huà)：可憐的鸚鵡

Poor Parrot

A lady who was very lonesome bought a parrot from a pet store，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 store very disappointed.“The parrot doesn’t talk.”“Did you buy a mirror？”“No.”“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.“The parrot still doesn’t talk.”“Did you buy a ladder？”“No.”“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.“The parrot still doesn’t talk.”“Did you buy a swing？”“No.”“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 storeowner asked，“Did the parrot talk？”“No！He died.”“Oh，that’s terrible. Did he say anything before he died？”“Yes.”“What？”“He gasped，‘Don’t they have any food down at that store？’”
