A man once had a wonderful parrot. The parrotwas special and could say any word except the name ofhis hometown—Catano.
      The man tried his best to teach the parrot to say“Catano”, but he never made it. At first, he was kind toit, but gradually he got angry and shouted many times,“You stupid bird! How can’t you learn to say that oneword? Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!” But the parrotstill would not say it.
      Finally the man gave up. He picked up the parrotand threw the bird into the chicken house. In the house,there were four old chickens and they waited to be killedfor Sunday’s dinner. “You are more stupid than thechickens,” the man said as he was leaving.
      The next morning, the man went out to the chickenhouse. When he opened the door, he was shocked bywhat he saw. He saw the parrot was shouting at thechickens, “Say Catono, or I’ll kill you!”
