The fable of tortoise and parrot parroting.

The owner keeps a parrot, and he is good at taming parrots. Parrots have been domesticated in a planned and step-by-step way since childhood. The first step is to cultivate feelings, feed it delicious food, add sweet water and get familiar with it. The second step is to choose the time and environment to teach it to learn to speak. Step three, choose simple sentences and easy-to-pronounce words. This is gradual. After a long time of hard work, parrots can say a few beautiful words. The master was so proud that everyone boasted about his superb domestication method. There is no animal that he can't tame.

One day, a friend gave him an old turtle. It suddenly occurred to him that since he could make parrots talk. Then, for a turtle, learning to say "hello" is not a problem, and it is easy. If an old turtle can be tamed to say "hello", it won't be considered bragging if he says to let the turtle talk in front of everyone. When I think of my turtle, I speak human words, which makes everyone frightened and amazed. He couldn't help but say intoxicated: how wonderful that would be! That scene must be wonderful! Just do it, he still takes the way of training parrots, which is just beyond his expectation. No matter how hard he tried and how many words he said, the old turtle still didn't learn to speak. The host was so angry that he scalded it with boiling water and hit it with a wooden stick. The tortoise shed tears in pain. The host angrily pointed to the threat and said, you idiot, if you don't say hello in three days, I'll cook you. The master left regretfully, leaving only the tortoise crying in the urn. The parrot saw it and felt sorry for the tortoise. Q: Brother Gui, why are you crying? The tortoise said with tears in his eyes: My master gave me three days to learn to speak the human language "Hello". Otherwise, if you can't learn, you must cook me. I can't stop crying at the thought of my bad luck of being cooked. The parrot was very sad to hear that. Say: Brother Turtle, master, this is nonsense regardless of the object. You'd better run! The tortoise nodded in agreement.

The tortoise was just struggling to climb out of the urn when its owner came back and bumped into it. And mercilessly forced the tortoise to learn to say "hello". The old turtle still couldn't learn, so the master scalded it with boiling water and stepped on it with his foot. The tortoise shed muddy tears and was killed by its master. Master at this point, also don't understand. Why can the same method domesticate parrots but not turtles?

That's ridiculous. It's really puzzling. Strange!
