The salesmen comes upto her and says "what can I do for you?". The lady said "I am looking for a special gift for my husband." The salesmen replied "I have a very special parrot, it will cost you ten thousand bucks." The lady said in an amazement "what is so special about the parrot that makes worth so much ?" The salesmen says, "it is a singing parrot that sings christmas carrolls. If you lit a candle and put it under the parrot's left foot, the parrot will sing Jingle Bell, and if you put the candle under the right foot, the parrot will sing White Christmas." So the lady lites up a candle and placed it under the parrot's left foot. Sure enough the parrot started singing "Jingle Bells Jingle Bells jingle all the way ...." The lady was amazed. Then she placed the candle under the parrot's right foot. The parrot started to sing "I'm dreaming of a white christmas ...." The lady decides to buy the parrot and takes it home. That evening, when her husband came in, she introduced him to the parrot. They placed the candle under the parrot's left foot... nothing happened. Then the lady remembered that the candle has to be lit. So they lit up the candle. "jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way....." The husband was amazed. Then the candle was moved to parrot's right foot. "I'm dreaming of a white christmas...." The husband was very excited about this amazing parrot. Then he thought, "What would happen if the candle was in the middle (between the two feet) ? Which song would the parrot sing ?" So they went on to place the candle in the middle of the left and right feet, and much to thier surprise, the parrot started singing Chest-nuts roasting on an open fire ....
