A parrot's answer
 A parrot's answer

A boy goes to a pet shop to buy a parrot. There he sees a parrot with a red string tied to its left leg and a green string tied to its right leg.

He asks the owner the significance of the strings.

"Well,this is a highly trained parrot. If you pull the red string he speaks French; if you pull the green string he speaks German,"replies the shopkeeper.

"And what happens if I pull both the strings?" the courious shopper inquires.

"I fall off my perch,you fool!" screeches the parrot.
