CAT AND PARROT.
Suggestion of the Monkey and
Parrot Yarn.

suggestion OF the Monkey and
Parrot Yarn.
A friend of Theophile Gautiers who
was going away for a short time
asked him during his absence to take,
charge of favorite green parrot. To
thistle amiable Theo. readily assented.
but he was unable to inform the then
reigning cat of the expected addition
to the household. Consequently, when,
after the parrots arrival, the cat came
as usual into Theo's den, it was not
a little surprised to find the parrot es-
tablIshed on its perch at the
top OF pole. Surprise, says Gautier.
who saw the whole scene, presently
gave way to other emotions, since the
cat plainly said to itself: Why this
is a green fowl This is a delicacy I
have never met with before. This is
most interesting, and, doubtless, will
be most delicious!" Gautier, ready TO
come to the rescue if necessary still
observed, while the cat watched the
parrot with eager eyes and the parrot
watched with a very uneasy exDres-
sion. Presently the cat made I'D its,
mind definitely, crouched, made a.
spring, and alighted actually on the.
parrots perch.
The green fowl" however, was
equal to the occasion. 1t turned on the.
cat, saying in deep bass voice: JAG
quet, have you had breakfast" The
cat jumped backward as if a pistol
had been fired past it's ear All its
ideas as to the bird part of creation
were upset. The parrot continued.
What did you have? Why, the kings.
roast" On this the cat clearly said to.
itself. Il have made mistake This
is not bird at all, it is a gentleman.
Only hear him talk"
The parrot, seeing his advantage,
proceeded to sing a couplet at the top
of his voice. This was the last blow.
The cat cast a despairing look at Theo
and then hid itself for the rest of the.
day under a bed. Those" says eau.
tier, who have not lived in intimacy
with animals may think that the inter-
probation Of the feelings of the cat and
the parrot is an effort of my magma
ton" Well, l for one am sure that he
read the signs exactly argiht. The
great French author adds that the cat
tried once again, with exactly the,
same result as before, and then gave
it up, accepting it as fact that the.
parrot was really human being.
