Big Bird 誰是老鳥

One day, a man goes to a pet shop to purchase a parrot. The clerk takes the man to the parrot section and asks the man to choose one. The man asks, "How much is the yellow one?"
The clerk says, "US$2,000." The man is shocked and asks the clerk why it is so expensive.
The clerk explains, "This parrot is very special. He knows typewriting and can type really fast." Then the man asks, "What about the green one?" The clerk answers, "He costs US$5,000
because he knows typewriting and can answer incoming telephone calls and takes notes."
"What about the red one?" the man asks.
The clerk says, "That one's US$10,000."
The man says, "What does he do?"
The clerk says, "Not much, but the other two call him boss."
有一天,某位男子到寵物店要買一隻鸚鵡。店員帶男子到鸚鵡專區,請男子自行挑一隻。男子問道:「黃色那隻多少錢?」店員回答:「美金兩千元。」男子嚇了一跳,問店員那隻鳥為何那麼貴。於是店員解釋:「這隻鸚鵡很特別。他知道如何打字,而且打得超級快。」接著男子問:「那綠色那隻呢?」店員回答:「那隻要價美金五千元,因為他知道如何打字,而且會接電話和寫筆記。」
「紅色那隻又是多少?」男子問道。
店員回覆:「那隻要美金一萬元。」
男子說:「他會做些什麼?」
店員答:「他會做的不多,不過其他兩隻都叫他老闆。」
