There was a man who wanted to get his wife something exotic for her birthday. He decided to get her a parrot as she had always wanted one. He went to the pet shop looking for one. He asked the employe if they had any parrots that talked. The employe showed him a beautiful makaw that sung songs when a lit matche was placed under either foot. He decided to buy it. As soon as the wife saw it she fell in love."But wait, it does tricks!" the man exclaimed. He took a match and lit it and placed it under the bird's left foot. It started to sing "Jingle Bells". He moved the match to the right foot and the bird started singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Finally he took the match and put it between the birds legs. The bird sang "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire".
