The Parrot on Vacation
A man wanted to take a summer vacation by train, but no one was willing to take care of his parrot. So, he decided to take it with him. He went to the ticket counter and asked for a ticket to Rimini【2】. The ticket agent told him that he would also need a ticket for the parrot.
"I can save some money!" the man thought. He went to the bathroom, put the parrot in his pants, and then bought only a ticket for himself.
He sat comfortably on the train and quickly fell asleep. The parrot stayed put in his pants.
A nun entered and quietly took a seat. While reading a church newspaper, she noticed a slight movement in the man's pants. She peeked over the edge of her newpaper, thinking, "This must be a bad dream!"
After a while, the movement became stronger, and she heard a voice say, "It's really warm in here!"
"Oh," the nun thought, "he talks in his sleep, too!"
The movement became even more wild, and the voice said, "My God, it's hot in here!"
The nun grew nervous and watched carefully. She saw the zipper on the man's pants opened, a wing came out, then a second one followed, and finally the parrot poked its head out. The parrot looked at the nun and said, "Cuckou!"
The nun, completely startled, jumped up, shook the man awake, and said, "My dear man, I am a woman of God and perhaps don't know much about such things, but I think an egg is broken on you!"
度假的鸚鵡
一個男人想乘火車去度暑假,但是沒人肯給他看他的鸚鵡,他決定帶它一起去。他走到售票處,說要買到裏米尼【2】的車票。售票員告訴他他也需要給他的鸚鵡買張車票。
“我可以省錢!“ 他想。他就到廁所裏,把他的鸚鵡放在褲子裏,然後給自己買了一張車票。
他舒舒服服地坐在車廂裏,很快就睡著了。鸚鵡則安靜地呆在他的褲子裏。
一位修女上了車,安靜地坐下。她在閱讀教堂報紙時,那個男人褲子上的微小動作引起了她的注意。瞟過報紙上簷,她想,“這一定是夢魘!“
過了一會兒,動作大了起來,她聽到一個聲音,“這裏真暖和!“
“哦,” 修女想,“他還說夢話!”
那個動作簡直到了瘋狂的程度,一個聲音在嚷,“我的天,這裏真熱!”
修女戰戰兢兢,仔細觀察。她看到男人的拉鏈門襟開了,一隻翅膀出來了,第二隻翅膀也跟著出來了,最後鸚鵡探出頭。鸚鵡瞧著修女,說,“酷酷!”
修女大吃一驚,跳了起來,把男人搖醒,說,“親愛的先生,我是上帝造的一個女人,我實在不大理解這樣的事情,但是我覺得一個蛋碎在您那了!”
