At dawn the phone rings.<\/p>\n
\u201cSe\u00f1or, this is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house. I\u2019m sorry to say\u2026 your parrot has died.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy prize parrot?! What happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe ate rotten meat.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho fed him that?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one, se\u00f1or. He ate from the dead horse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat dead horse?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lucky. He collapsed from pulling the water cart.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat water cart?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one we used to put out the fire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWHAT FIRE?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt your house. A candle tipped over and the curtains burned.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s electricity! Why a candle?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the funeral.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWHAT FUNERAL?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour wife\u2019s. She came late at night. I thought she was a thief, so I hit her with your new Tiger Woods driver.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Finally\u2014<\/p>\n
\u201cErnesto\u2026 if you broke that driver, you\u2019re fired.\u201d<\/p>\n
