Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch ( 横杆 ) in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.
One day a man went into the store. “ That’s a beautiful bird,” he said to the owner, “ But why is it so expensive? Is it an unusual bird?”
“ No, it’s not very unusual. It’s expensive because it can talk.” the pet store owner said.
“ I see. How can I make it talk?” the man asked.

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem,“ Every grain on the plate comes from hard work ( 谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦).”But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.
