One day a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on a parrot. He
really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept
on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and
higher. Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the
bid - the parrot was his at last!
As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the auctioneer, "I
sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much
for it, only to find out that he can't talk!"
"Don't worry." said the Auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you
think kept bidding against you?"
