A 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 contempt, but did not utter a word. This went on
for a days. After a week the parrot said: "OK, I give up. You
got me on this one ... where's the boat?"
