Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The
parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name of the place
where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why the
parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano however the bird kept
not saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. “You stupid
bird!” pointed the man to the parrot. “Why can’t you say the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill
you” the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it. Then the
man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say Catano or I’ll kill you”. The bird
kept not saying the word of Catano.
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man
really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the cage. There
were four old chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them”
Said the man angrily. Then he continued to grumble; “You know, I will cut the chicken for my
meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot”. After that he left the cage.
The next day, the man came back to the cage. He opened the door and was very
surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the cage. There were three dead chickens on the
floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old chicken;
“Say Catano or I’ll kill you”.
