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 every week and began to understand what the magician did
in every trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting
in the middle of the show.

"Look, it's not the same hat!" "Look, 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 the
captain's parrot after all.

One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found
himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and of
course the parrot was by his side.

They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a
word. This went on for several days.

After a week the parrot finally said, "Okay, I give up.
What'd you do with the boat?"
