　　A Talkative Parrot

　　A lady worked in a company. There were a lot of shops on her way to work. One morning, when she was walking to work, she passed by a new pet shop. She was so excited when she saw a parrot sitting beside the door. She really loved birds. When she stopped to look at the handsome bird, it said to her, "Hey, lady, you are really ugly.” This made the lady very angry. She quickly left the shop and went to work. On her way home, she passed the same pet shop again. This time the parrot saw her again, it said immediately: "Hey lady, you are really ugly!" The lady tried to control herself. She walked to the shopkeeper and told him that if the parrot said it again, she would have the police come and take it away. "I'm so sorry, madam. I promise it won't happen again," the shopkeeper said. The next morning, when the lady walked past the pet shop, she pretended that she didn’t see it. But the parrot saw her at once and said to her quickly, "Hey lady." She stopped and looked at the bird coldly. "Yes?" she answered in an angry voice. The bird, sitting up straight and smiling at her, said, "You know."
