THE
TALKING BIRD
This rich little old lady went to the
grocery store one day to buy her groceries. As she entered the doors there was a talking
bird to her right.
The bird said, "You are the ugliest
woman I have ever seen!"
The woman was very offended and went to
tell the store manager what had happened.
"If you don't stop that bird from
talking to me like that I will never come back to this store again, and you do know that I
am one of your biggest customers," she ranted.
The manager promised her this would never
happen again.
A few days later the little old lady went
back to the store and the very same thing happened.
The bird said, "You are the ugliest
woman I have ever seen!"
The little old lady went and told the
manager that the very same thing had happened.
"I will tell everyone I see not to
shop at this store," she threatened.
The manager promised her again that it
would stop this time.
He went up to the bird and said, "If
you ever tell that lady that she is the ugliest woman you ever saw, I will pluck out your
feathers and throw you in the street. Now do you understand?"
The talking bird replied, "Yes!"
A few days later the little lady entered
the store, stopped, looked up at the bird to see if he would make that remark again. The
bird just looked down at her.
As she started to walk away, the bird said,
"I can't say it, but you know you are!"
