The parrot called everyone who <br>entered idiots; people laughed no one took offence, or so<br>we all thought. But someone must have taken umbrage, it <br>was shot through the window when the café was empty. <br>Feather everywhere the village was shocked, who could do <br>such a shameful deed? The culprit, was a farmer, who had <br>drunk his coffee at the café for twenty odd years, and had<br> enough of being called an idiot. The moral of this sad tale, <br>if there is any: if you call a man an idiot long enough he will <br>end up being one.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Oskar+Hansen">Oskar Hansen</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=474075" data-title="The Parrot de Oskar Hansen" data-description="The Parrot.
