A Nervous Wreck
Bert had spent hours trying to
teach his parrot to say “Hello,
Uncle,” ready for the visit of hi«
wealthy relative.
Uncle came—the parrot was dumb.
Bert seized the bird by the
throat. “Say ‘Hello, Uncle,’ or
I'll wring your bloomin’ neck," he
roared.
And when silence continued he
twisted the bird’s neck and threw
it into the fowl pen.
Queer squawks drew him to the
fowl pen next morning. On the
ground were three dead hens. The
parrot had a fourth by the neck,
shaking him and shouting: “Say,
‘Hello, Uncle,’ or I'Ll wring your
bloomin’ neck.”
