[awaite]

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 feet." was the shop > owner's reply. > > The shop owner held a lighted match under the parrot's left foot. 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! 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 > the little parrot sang out loudly like it was the performance of his > life: "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire...."
