So this guy goes into a pet store and sees a beautiful parrot but it has a blue string handing from one foot and a red one from the other. He thinks this is a little strange so he asks the shopkeeper what the strings are for.

有个人在宠物店发现了一只美丽的鹦鹉,但是它的一只脚上牵着蓝色的绳子,而另一只牵着红色的。这个人觉得有些奇怪,就去问店主绳子是做什么的?

"Well this is a highly trained parrot" the shopkeeper replies. "If you pull the red string he talks in French, if you pull the blue string he talks in English".

“噢,这是一只训练有素的鹦鹉。”店主回答道。“如果你拉动红绳子,它会讲法语,如果你拉动蓝绳子,它就讲英语”

"Wow" exclaims the man shopping, "That's really neat. What happens if you pull them both at the same time?"

“哇塞,”这个人感到很惊讶。“太厉害了。那如果你同时拉呢?”

"I fall off my perch you idiot!" exclaims the parrot.

“我会从架子上跌倒的!你个笨蛋!”鹦鹉回答道。
