The parrot and the philosopher

August 23, 2023


Once upon a time, a philosopher decided to explore the realm of animal intelligence. In his quest, he stumbled upon a pet shop selling a parrot known for its wisdom. Intrigued, he approached the shopkeeper.


"Tell me," the philosopher asked, "what makes this parrot so wise?"


"Well," replied the shopkeeper, "this parrot has read every self-help book, attended all the TED Talks, and even meditates twice a day!"


Amazed, the philosopher turned to the parrot and asked, "Oh wise parrot, what is the secret to happiness?"


The parrot looked at the philosopher, tilted its head, and squawked, "Buy one, get one free on birdseed, only this week!"



Moral of the story? Wisdom comes in many feathers, and some of it might just be on sale!
