There was a man who traveled all around the world. Every city
he stopped in he would buy something for his mother and send it
to her. On one such stop he found a parrot that spoke thirty
different languages. He immediately bought it and sent it home
to his mother.

A few days later he calls his mother. "Did you like the
parrot?" he asked her.

"Oh yes," she replied. "It was delicious."

"WHAT!" the man cried. "You ate it? That parrot wasn't for you
to eat! It spoke thirty languages!"

The mother paused for a moment and then said, "So why didn't he
say something?"
