There was a lonely woman at the nursing home who decided to buy a parrot because they could talk.
So she went to the pet store and bought a parrot. She asked the worker if he talked.
He said, "Yes. If you treat him right."
The next day, she tried to get the parrot to talk and he wouldn't so she went back to the pet store.
She said to the worker, "The parrot isn't talking to me. The worker said, "Buy him this ladder. He will climb up the ladder and then he will talk."
She went back to her home and put the ladder in his cage. The parrot climbed up the ladder but he still didn't talk.
So the next day she went to the pet store. She said to the worker, "The parrot still isnt talking but I bought him a ladder." The sales clerk said, "Buy him this mirror. He will climb up the ladder look in the mirror and then he will talk."
She went back to her house and put the mirror up. The parrot climbed up the ladder looked in the mirror and still didn't talk.
The next day she went to the pet store. She said to the worker, "My parrot STILL isn't talking!" The worker said "Buy him this bell. He will climb up the ladder look in the mirror, and then he will jump and ring the bell."
So that's what she did but the parrot STILL didn't talk.
Days later the parrot fell and died.
She went back to the pet store and said "My parrot died!"
The worker said "Did he say anything before he died?"
She said, "Yeah he said doesn't this lady buy any food!?"
