There was a guy who went into a shop to buy a parrot.There were three parrots in the shop. One was $5,000; another one, $10,000; and the third one, $30,000. The customer asked the owner, “How come this guy is $5,000? That’s so expensive for this kind of parrot.”
有個人到一間商店買鸚鵡。店里有三只鸚鵡，其中一只賣五千元，另一只賣一萬元，還有一只賣三萬元。顧客問老板：為什么這只要賣五千元？這個價錢對這種鸚鵡來說太貴了！
The owner said, “Because I have trained him and he can talk.” So the customer asked him, “How about this guy? What can he do that makes him so expensive?” The owner said, “Well, apart from talking, he can also do some amusing actions,like dancing and so on.That’s why he’s so expensive.”
老板說：因?yàn)槲矣杏?xùn)練他講話，顧客又問：那這只呢？他會做什么？為什么要賣這么貴？老板說：他除了會說話以外，還會表演一些有趣的動作，比如跳舞等等，所以才賣這么貴。
Then the customer said, “How about the third one? What can he do that makes him so expensive?” The owner of the shop said, “I don’t know. Normally, I have never heard him talk, nor dance, nor whistle, nor sing, nothing at all! But the other two call him ”The Boss.”
顧客接著又問：那第三只呢？他會做什么？為什么要賣這么貴？老板說：我不知道。我從沒聽過他講話、吹口哨或唱歌，也沒看過他跳舞，什么都沒有！不過另外兩只叫他：老板！
