The Parrot
Mary often passed a pet shop. One day a parrot inside screeched, "Hey, you!"
Mary turned. "What?"
"You're ugly!"
Mary was furious. The next day, as she passed again, the parrot screeched, "Hey, you! You're ugly!"
She was livid. When it happened a third time, she could take no more. She went inside and told the owner, "That parrot is insulting me. If you don't teach it some manners, I'll sue!"
The following day she walked past, and the parrot screeched again, "Hey, you!"
Mary turned and challenged it. "What?"
With a cheeky grin, the parrot said, "You already know. Why ask?"
