A petshop owner had a parrot with a sign on its cage that said "Parrot repeats everything it hears". Davey bought the parrot and for two weeks he spoke to it and it didn't say a word. He returned the parrot but the shopkeeper said he never lied about the parrot. How can this be?
the parrot is deaf
ReplyDeleteDitto, Saboo. Glad I guessed this otherwise I would be rather annoyed with myself!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Saboo and Bookish.
ReplyDeleteThe parrot is deaf.

ReplyDelete"parrot repeats EVERYTHING it hears"...so if Davey wud say "EVERYTHING" parrot wud repeat "everything"...see shopkeeper wasnt lying...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the parrot hasn't hear anything for the last two weeks, so the parrot doesn't speak for two weeks... (is my english is correct?? Sorry if it's wrong)
ReplyDeleteI love some of these answers. The 'official answer' is the parrot is deaf, so it can't hear anything.
ReplyDeleteBut that doesn't mean it's the only answer.
what if the Davey never said the words "a word'?
