 A Clever Parrot

Once there lived a man who had a parrot. The man tried to teach the parrot to speak. But the parrot could learn only the phrase, “There is no doubt about it”. The parrot always said these words and always gave the same answer. “There is no doubt about it”.

At last the man decided to sell the parrot. He went to the street and began to cry, “Twenty dollars for a very clever parrot!”

One woman heard this. She came up to the parrot and asked, “ Are you worth twenty dollars?” The parrot answered, “There is no doubt about it”. “What a clever parrot”, she said and bought the bird.

After some days the woman couldn’t listen to the parrot any more. She said, “What a fool I was to buy this parrot and throw away so much money. Twenty dollars!”

Then the parrot cried, “There is no doubt about it”. This time the parrot was right.

• _{“There is no doubt about it”.  - "У цьому немає жодних сумнівів".}
• _{decided to sell - вирішив продати;}
• _{Are you worth - Ти вартий (ти коштуєш);}
• _{А fool – дурень.}
