Magician
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 each week and began to understand how the magician
did every trick. Once he understood he started shouting in the middle
of the show: "Look, it's not the same hat." "Look, he is
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, after all, the captain's parrot. One day the ship had an accident
and sank. The magician found himself floating on a piece of wood in the
middle of the ocean with the parrot, of course. They stared at each other
with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day and another
and another. After a week the parrot said: "OK, I give up. Where's
the boat?".
