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 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?"
