the most important lesson you would ever learn
Since everybody is blogging in parables these days, I thought I might as well join in the hump… errrr.. fun.
I once had a rabbit. I called him Rabbit. Rabbit grew from a very small rabbit to a very big rabbit. Rabbit ate rabbit food as well as carrots and lettuce.
Then Rabbit died.
Why did Rabbit die? RABBIT CANNOT DIE! RABBIT CANNOT DIE! CANNOT!!! RABBIT HAS NO RIGHT TO DIE!!!!
There was also this parrot with a brain the size of a dried pea. For the sake of story-with-a-moral continuation let’s call this parrot Parrot.
Now the common misconception is that Parrot killed Rabbit. The truth is, Parrot didn’t. Parrot merely hastened Rabbit to its early grave by continuously singing ONE song.
Because this is no ordinary parrot. Normally parrots are taught to speak and do silly, seemingly human-pleasing tricks like jumping through a small hoop but no, not this parrot. Like all parrots before Parrot’s time who were doomed to eternal social outcast, Parrot actually SPEAK without GUIDANCE. Yes, shocking as it is, the dried pea-like brain was left quite unconsulted.
Not that Parrot realised it of course. After all it was only one parrot (with nice feathers that go toink toink). How could ONE SINGLE PARROT affect the rest of the wildlife in the lush forest of Utopia? Parrot only wanted to share its toink toink feather secrets with hairy monkeys, fat elephants and grumpy lions.
So Parrot has only one mission in its rather long yet unsatisfactory life. To sing. And to sing the same song over and over again. You would think that if someone was going to sing the same song for eternity, s/he would at least attempt to change the tone or the lyrics. But no, not this parrot. This parrot is on a mission and like it or not, this parrot will damn well fulfill it.
Below is an original unabridged copy of the song lyrics;
Burung kakak tua
Hinggap di jendela
Nenek sudah tua
Giginya tinggal dua.Letrum letrum letrum oh la la
Letrum letrum letrum oh la la
Letrum letrum letrum oh la la
Burung kakak tua!
Of course this didn’t go down too well with the rest of the poor suffering animals in the lush forest of Utopia. Where is Anthony Robbins when you need him? they thought, or Doctor Phil would do just fine!
But Parrot continued singing to any small fucks who are bored enough to listen. Monkeys tried to stop it. Peace-loving pigeons tried to stop it. Heck, even the resident shorts-wearing elf tried to stop it. But they all fail to understand one simple yet very important thing;
PARROT CANNOT BE STOPPED!
And from that day onwards ear plugs sales shot through the roof.
There is a lesson to be learnt in this parable. Let me know when you find it.
Until then, hum nahim jante, hum nahin mante.
Amen.

Lesson to be learnt
Save the forest, eat a parrot?
tum mere tum, sapo sapo hei
li long wo long
pakai sarong
sarong jatuh
nampak burung
burung terbang
cari lubang..
ooopss..
I think I understand your lesson:
We know that the term “fuck like rabbits’ implies that the rabbit is an active fucker. A serial fucker, in fact. But still, you shouldn’t die from fucking.
We know that the term “to parrot” means to repeat continuously.
So combining the rabbit and the parrot together, the lesson is that if you fuck continuously day and night, and your fucking cannot be stopped because you are on a mission, then you will surely die from exhaustion.
SQUAKKK!!!!!!
Woops. I think I am more like fat elephant!
Maybe Kentuky Fried Parrot is on menu!
its letchum laa as in letchumi a/p narayanasami.. bukan letrum.. letrum is a lektrik combine with uranium
that parrot wants to sing it ‘letrum’ mah.. who said Parrot was always correct? :p
you amaze me with your insightful view
YES! Eat THE Parrot!
“hum nahim jante, hum nahin mante” roughly means “I don’t know and I don’t care”. Weird no one knows hindi around here…
