A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner that he needs a pet for his mother. He says his mother lives alone and could really use some company.
โI have just what she needs,โ says the pet shop owner. โA chicken that can speak in five languages. Sheโll have a lot of fun with that bird.โ
The man says heโll take the chicken and makes arrangement to have the bird delivered to his mother.
A few days pass and the man calls his mum. โWell Mum, how did you like that chicken I sent?โ
She says, โOh son, it was delicious!โ
Aghast, the man says, โYou ate that bird? Why, it could speak five languages!โ
Mum says, โwell, it should have said something.โ
