Parrot: Hello.

Man: Because they’re friendly.
Woman: I don’t like dogs. I prefer cats.
Francis: Why do you prefer cats?
Woman: Because they are quiet. They don’t make much noise.
Francis: Why do you like parrots?
Woman: Because they talk.
Francis: That parrot doesn’t talk.
Parrot: Yes, I do.

Husband: This one. Let’s buy this lamp.
Wife: No. It’s too big. This one’s better.
Husband: No. Not that one, please.
Wife: Why not?
Husband: My mother won’t like it.
Wife: But it’s not for your mother. It’s for us. And I like it.
Husband: What about this one?
Wife: No,I don’t like it at all. I don’t like the colour. I prefer that one. What do you think of it?
