- (continued from previous page)Two tons shouted the parrot. The coal man thinking was a genuine order came to deliver the 2 tons. The man protested it wasn't ordered, the coal man pretended it was. Finally they discovered it was the parrots doing, so the coal was kept.
To punish the parrot they pulled the feathers from the top of its head and left it bare. This day a minister called and was taken into the room in which the parrot was. The parrot on seeing the minister's bald head shouted out. You must have sold 40 tons today. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
