One Christmas Eve, a frenzied young man ran into a
pet shop looking for
an unusual Christmas gift for his wife. The shop
owner suggested a
parrot, named Chet, which could sing famous
Christmas carols.
This seemed like the perfect gift. "How do I get
him to sing?" The
young man asked, excitedly.
"Simply hold a lighted match directly under his left
foot like this,"
was the shop owner's reply. Chet began to sing,
"Jingle Bells! Jingle
Bells! ".
The shop owner then held another match under the
parrot's right foot.
Then Chet's tune changed, and the air was filled
with "Silent Night,
Holy Night".
The young man was so impressed that he paid the
shop-keeper and ran home
as quickly as he could with Chet under his arm.
When the wife saw her
gift, she was overwhelmed. "How beautiful!" she
exclaimed. "Can he
talk?"
"No," the young man replied, "but he can sing. Let
me show you."
So the young man whipped out his lighter and placed
it under Chet's left
foot, as the shop-keeper had shown him, and Chet
crooned, "Jingle
Bells!" The man then moved the lighter to Chet's
right foot, and out
came, "Silent Night. Holy Night".
The wife, her face filled with curiosity, then
asked, "What if we hold
the lighter between his legs?" The man did not
know. "Let's try
it." he answered, eager to please his wife.
So they held the lighter between Chet's legs. Chet
twisted his face,
cleared his throat, and sang out loudly (like it was
the performance of
his life) "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire...."
