Why Parrots Repeat Words
Long time ago all the birds could talk like people. Most of all the birds, people liked the talkative parrot, because this bird always told the truth.
One night the man stole his friend’s cow. When the sun rose the friend came to look for it, he asked the dishonest cruel man, “Did you steal my cow yesterday?” “No, I didn’t,” said the man. Is that the truth? Let’s ask the parrot.” “Yes, he did. This dishonest cruel man stole the cow,” answered the parrot.
When night came, the man had an idea. He put a great cup on the parrot’s head.Then he poured a lot of water on the cup. In the morning his friend and some other people came to his house again. I know that this dishonest cruel man stole my cow. The parrot says that he did.” “You are wrong! That parrot tells lies. He will not tell the truth even about what happened last night. Ask him if there was the moon in the sky yesterday.” “It is impossible! This bird tells lies! What shall we do?” the people said. “Fly away! You can’t live with us!”
So the parrot flew away unhappily into the forest where he met a little bird and told her his story. “Why did you not repeat people’s words?” asked the little bird. “People always think their words are clever. Say what they say, and they will think you are a polite bird.”Yes, I see,” said the parrot, “from now on, I will only repeat their words.”

Почему попугаи повторяют слова
Давным-давно все птицы могли говорить как люди. Больше всего людям нравился разговорчивый попугай, потому что этот птица всегда говорила правду.
Однажды ночью мужчина украл корову у своего друга. Когда взошло солнце, друг пришел искать ее, спросил нечестного жестокого мужчину: "Ты вчера украл мою корову?" - "Нет, не украл", - ответил мужчина. Это правда? Давайте спросим попугая. "Да, это правда. Этот нечестный жестокий человек украл корову", ответил попугай.
Когда наступила ночь, у мужчины возникла идея. Он поставил большую чашу на голову попугаю. Затем он налил много воды в чашу. Утром пришел его друг и еще несколько людей. Я знаю, что этот нечестный жестокий человек украл мою корову. Попугай говорит, что он сделал." - "Вы ошибаетесь! Этот попугай врет. Он даже не скажет правду о том, что произошло прошлой ночью. Спросите его, была ли луна на небе вчера." - "Это невозможно! Эта птица говорит неправду! Что нам делать?" - сказали люди. "Улетай! Ты не можешь жить с нами!"
И попугай расправил крылья и с печалью улетел в лес, где встретил маленькую птицу и рассказал ей свою историю. "Почему ты не повторяешь слова людей?" - спросила маленькая птичка. "Люди всегда считают, что их слова умны. Говори то, что они говорят, и они подумают, что ты вежливая птица." - "Да, я понимаю," - сказал попугай, - "отныне буду повторять только их слова."
