> The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word

> John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently

> saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could

> think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

> Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled

> back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.

>

> John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him

> in the freezer.

>

> For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then

> suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

>

> Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the

> freezer.

> The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said,

> "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.

> I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully

> intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable

> behaviour."

>

> John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about

> to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour,

> the bird continued,
