CLARENCE
THE PARROT
Late one
night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed
through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he
heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!"
Silence
returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.
"Jesus
is watching you," the voice boomed again.
The burglar
stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all
around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was
a parrot.
He asked
the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?"
"Yes,"
said the parrot.
The burglar
breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's your
name?"
"Clarence,"
said the bird.
"That's
a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot
named you Clarence?"
The parrot
said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiller Jesus."
