The Faithful Parrot

There was a poor man who loved his beautiful wife very much. Since he went to work every morning, he bought a talking parrot to keep her company. He also told the parrot to tell him all that happened during the day. One day, the parrot told him his wife had been lazy and dishonest and the man scolded her. The woman decided to teach the parrot a lesson. She told her servants to grind the hand-mill loudly, sprinkle water on the parrot’s cage and to flash a mirror in front of the cage. That evening, the man returned and asked the parrot what had happened during the day. It said, “I could see and hear nothing because of the rain, thunder and lightning!” There had been no rain that day, and the man thought that the parrot was lying. In anger, he killed the parrot while his wife was happy to be free of it!
