Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch ( 橫桿 ) in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.  
One day a man went into the store. “ That’s a beautiful bird,” he said to the owner, “ But why is it so expensive? Is it an unusual bird?”
“ No, it’s not very unusual. It’s expensive because it can talk.” the pet store owner said.
“ I see. How can I make it talk?” the man asked.
The owner asked him, “ Do you see those strings ( 細(xì)繩 ) tied to each of the bird’s legs?
“ Yes,” the man answered.
“ Well, you pull those strings,” the pet store owner told him. That will make the parrot talk.”
The man asked, “ Do you mind if I try?”
“ Not at all,” the owner said.
The man walked up to the parrot and pulled the string on its left leg. The parrot said, “ Good morning.”
The man pulled the string on the parrot’s right leg. This time the parrot said, “ How are you today?”
“ That’s not very interesting,” said the man. “ Any parrot could do that.” Then he laughed, “ But what would happen if I pulled both strings at the same time?”
“ I’ll fall off my perch, you fool !”the parrot said.

Suddenly, Jackal looked up to see his neighbor, Lion, walking straight toward him. He did not have enough time to run way. Jackal had played many tricks on Lion over the years, so he knew he would be in trouble if he was caught. Jackal needed to think of something quickly.
“Help! Help!” cried Jackal as he quickly jumped upon a large rock hanging over the road. “The rocks are falling down, and I can’t hold them much longer. We shall both be crushed (壓碎) if you do not do your best to hold these rocks back, Lion”
At once, Lion pushed his strong shoulder against the rocks to keep them from moving any further. “I’ll just run over here to get something to stop the rocks.” shouted Jackal as he ran way to safety.
