Bob was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship. One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new neighbors near his mother’s house. They had a pretty daughter, and Bob soon loved her and he wanted to marry her when he came back. Bob promised the girl to send a present from every port. Bob’s first port was Capetown in Africa, and he sent the girl a parrot from there. The parrot spoke three languages. When Bob’s ship reached Australia, a letter came from the girl. The letter said, “Thank you for the parrot, Bob. It tasted much better than a chicken”.
