MESSAGE #520 - THE MAGIC TRICK

Once upon a time, there was a
great magician who made his
living by performing on cruise
ships.

The magician had a parrot who
was part of his act. The parrot
used to get laughs by telling the
audience how the magician was
doing his tricks.

The parrot would say things like,
“The card is up his sleeve,” or
“He’s going to steal your watch.”

One day the cruise ship hit a
rocky reef and sank.

Luckily, the parrot and the
magician got on a life raft
together.

They drifted at sea for several days.

Day after day, the parrot just
sat and stared at the magician
in total silence.

Finally, the parrot said, “Okay,
I give up. What did you do with
the ship?”
