"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 again.
"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 yet again.
"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 store owner 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?'"
