The Magician
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
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"

"He's 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
ran into trouble, and sank.  The magician found himself on a piece of
wood in the middle of the ocean with
the parrot.

They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word.  This
went on for a day and another and
another.

After 3 days the parrot said:  "OK, I give up.  Where's the boat?"
