“I see. How can I make it talk?” the man asked.
The pet store owner asked him, “Do you see those strings tied to each of the bird's legs?”
“Yes,” the man answered.
“Well, you pull those strings,” the pet store owner told him.“That will make the parrot talk.”

“Not at all,” the pet store owner said.
