Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.
One day a man went into the store. “That's a beautiful bird,” he said to the pet store owner, “But why is it so expensive? Is it unusual bird?”
“No, it's not very unusual. It's expensive because it can talk,” the pet store owner said.
“I see. How can I make it talk?” the man asked.
The pet store owner asked him, “Do you see those string 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.”
The man asked, “Do you mind if I try?”
“Not at all,” the pet store owner said.
The man walked up to the parrot and pulled the string on its left leg. The parrot said, “Good morning.”
The man pulled the string on the parrot's right leg. This time the parrot said, “How are you today?”
“That's not very interesting,” said the man. “Any parrot could do that.” Then he laughed, “But what would happen if I pulled both strings at the same time?”
“I'll fall off my perch, you fool!” the parrot said.

WHEN a woman took the seat beside me on a plane, I felt uncomfortable. She had to lower herself slowly, squeezing (擠壓) her body into the small space.
“My name is Kelly. I’m from Canada. Where are you from?” She waved a hand in front of my face. “China,” I said as I shook her hand unhappily.
Kelly kept talking to me. She was very thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals, she made sure that I had enough room in my seat.
“I don’t want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said sincerely. I couldn’t help but let down my guard.
As we talked, I was surprised by her wise words. She had read many books and was very smart.
I asked her if she ever thought about losing some weight.
“Aren’t you worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?”
“Not at all. I eat healthy and walk regularly,” she said. “I believe in my heart, the people who get diseases are the ones who worry. You see advertisements from exercise centers that read, ‘Free yourself from your extra baggage, so you are free to be yourself.’ You’re free only if you’re comfortable with who you are!”
I suddenly realized that Kelly was the most beautiful and clever woman I had ever met in my life.
