    22. You're Right

    你說對了

    Once Mr Henry went to a small town with high mountains all around it. It was a quiet and cool place and some rich people liked to go there for their holidays. A week later， before Mr Henry left the town， he paid thirty p

    ounds for a parrot. When he came back， he began to teach the bird to speak. He tried his best， but it learned only one sentence，“You're right.”He was disappointed and said to the bird angrily，“How foolish you are！”

    “You're right，”said the parrot.

    The next day Mr Henry took the bird to the market and wanted to sell it for eighty pounds. Before long a fat man came and looked at the parrot carefully. Then he asked，“How much is it， sir？”

    Mr Henry didn't hurry to answer and said，“It's a clever bird， you know. It can speak and sing.”Then he said to the bird，“Are you really worth eighty pounds， my dear？

    “You're right，”said the parrot.

    The fat man liked it at once and bought it. When he took it home he asked it a lot of questions， but it could only say，“You are right.”

    He felt very sorry for it and said to himself angrily，“Why did I spend eighty pounds on such a foolish bird？ What a fool I am！

    “You're right， answered the parrot.

    Hearing this， the man couldn't help laughing and set it free.
