A magician worked on a cruise ship. There was a different audience
each week, so the magician did the same tricks over and over again.

One problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began
to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood,
the parrot started shouting in the middle of the show:

"Look, it's not the same hat!", "Look, he's hiding the flowers under
the table."
"Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"

The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was after
all, the captain's parrot.

Then the ship sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood
in the middle of the sea with, as fate would have it, the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred but did not utter a word.
This went on for a day and then another and then another.

Finally on the fourth day, the parrot could not hold back:
"OK, I give up. Where's the ship?"
