A woman bought a parrot from a pet store． However， the woman decided to return the parrot to the shop the next day．

    "This bird doesn't talk，" she told the pet shop owner．

    "Does he have a mirror in his cage（笼子）？" the owner asked． "Parrots love mirrors．"

    The woman bought a mirror and left． The next day she came back，saying that the bird still wasn't talking．

    "How about a ladder？ Parrots love ladders，" the owner said． The woman bought a ladder and left． But the next day， she was back．

    "Does your parrot have a swing？ No？ Well， once he starts swinging， he'll talk，"the owner said．

    The woman then bought a swing and left．

    When she walked into the store the next day， she began to cry． "The parrot died，" she said．

    The pet store owner was shocked． "I'm sorry． Tell me， did he ever say anything？" he asked．

    "Yes， right before he died，" the woman answered， "in a low voice， he asked me， 'Don't they sell any food at that pet store？'"

    Sometimes we forget what's really necessary in life． We sometimes have lots of things to do at once， but we forget to deal with the most important things first． We have to remember to "feed the parrots" in our lives．
