第44章 失踪的鹦鹉

There was once a lady who was very concerned about her missing parrot。Not knowing what to do,she called 911,“You gotta help me find my parrot!”

The operator replied patiently,“We can't help you with that,ma'am。This number only deals with emergencies。”

However,the lady persisted,and then the operator told her not to be concerned,that the parrot should fly back in a few days。Then,out of desperation,the lady begged,“But you don't understand!The only thing he says is‘Here,kitty,kitty’!!!”

但是,这位女士还坚持找鹦鹉,然后接线员告诉她不要太担心,这只鹦鹉过几天就会自己飞回来的。这位女士非常绝望,恳求道,“但是你们不会明白的。这只鹦鹉只会说,‘这儿,Kitty,Kitty’!”
