One day, a lady was walking to work. Along the way, she passed a shop with a parrot (鹦鹉) sitting beside the door.
When she stopped to look at the bird, it said to her, "Hey, lady, you are really ugly (丑陋的)!"
This made the lady very angry. She quickly left the shop and went to work. On her way home, she passed the same pet shop again. When the parrot saw her, it said, "Hey lady, you are really ugly!"
The lady couldn’t believe how rude (粗鲁的) this bird was.
She told the shopkeeper that if the parrot said it again, she would have the police come and take it away. "I’m sorry, ma’am. It won’t happen again." the shopkeeper said.
The next day, when the lady walked past the shop, the parrot said to her, "Hey lady."
She stopped and looked at the bird coldly. "Yes" she answered angrily.
The bird, sitting up straight and smiling at her, said, "You know.\
The lady was happy when hearing what the bird was saying.
