A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The
audience would
be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the
same
tricks over and over again. There was only one problem - the
captain's
parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand what the
magician
did in every trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting in
the
middle of the show, "Look, it's not the same hat!"
"Look, he's hiding the
flowers under the table!" "Hey, why are all the cards the
Ace of Spades?"
The magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the
captain's
parrot after all.
One day the ship had an accident and sunk. The magician found
himself on a
piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and of course the parrot
was by
his side. They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a
word.
This went on for several days. After a week the parrot finally said,
"Okay,
I give up. What'd you do with the boat?"
