A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem. The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show, "Look, it's not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?" The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the Captain's parrot. Then one very, very stormy night in the middle of the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning almost all who were on board. The magician luckily found himself on a very small piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea and, as fate would have it, the parrot was sat on the same piece of wood. They stared at each other with hatred, but neither of them uttered a word. This went on for a day, and then 2 days, and then 3 days. Finally, on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said "OK, I give up. Where's the bl**dy ship?"
