IA 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?"
