A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. He has a
different audience each week, so he allowed himself to perform the same act
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 every
show,
"Look, that's not the same hat!"
"Now he's 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 about it.
After all, it was the captain's parrot.
One day the unthinkable
happened: 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
single word. This went on for days.
After a week the parrot finally
broke the silence and said, "OK, I give up. Where'd you hide the ship?"
