One fateful night, a burglar entered a house under the cover of darkness.

As he stealthily moved about, a mysterious voice broke the silence, uttering, “Jesús is watching you”.

Startled, he scanned the surroundings, finding nothing amiss. Ignoring his unease, he continued his covert mission, only to hear the voice once more, repeating, “Jesús is watching you”.

Intrigued, he traced the voice to a shadowy corner, where he discovered an unexpected occupant – a caged parrot. Hesitantly, he inquired, “Was it you who mentioned Jesús is keeping an eye on me?”

The parrot confirmed, “Indeed”.

Relieved yet curious, the burglar pressed further, asking, “What’s your name, then?”

The parrot responded, “Clarence”.

Dissatisfied with the name choice, the burglar couldn’t help but comment, “Clarence? That’s quite a foolish name for a parrot. Who on earth would name you Clarence?”

To which the parrot cheekily replied, “The same person who named the rottweiler Jesús.”
