　　One day， a woman walked into a pet store to buy a bird for her Thanksgiving Day party. The guy said， “We only have one parrot. But I think you do not want it because it can talk…”

　　The woman said happily， “That’s great. I’ve always wanted a talking bird.”

　　So the guy said， “Since you are a nice lady， I’ll give it to you as a gift.”

　　And the lady went home and put the bird on her bed and walked out of the room. But as soon as she walked int o the kitchen， the bird started to speak dirty words as loud as it could. The woman walked back into the room thinking， “I can’t have this at my party!” So she took the bird and put it in the fridge.

　　A few hours later， while the woman was eating， she remembered that her bird was still in the fridge. Quickly， she opened the door and found it was shivering. Then she took out the bird at once. She said to the bird， “I’ll keep you out of there if you don’t use that language again. Do you agree with me?”
