Mary recieved a parrot as a gift. the parrot was full grown with a very bad attitude, and a filthy vocabulary, every other word was a swear-word or something rude, to say the least.
Mary tried to change the birds attitude by saying nice, polite things, but nothing worked. She yelled at the bird, and the bird just got worse. She shook the bird, and the bird got madder and even more rude.
Finally, in a moment of desperation Mary put the parrot in the Freezer just to get a minute of peace and quiet. For a few moments she heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming, then suddenly there was absolute silence. Mary, frightened that she might have harmed the bird quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Marys extended hand and said.
"I'm very sorry that I offended you with my foul language, and I ask for your forgiveness. In future I will endevour to correct my behaviour, and I'm sure it will never happen again"
Mary was astounded at the change in the birds attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued.
