The Story of the Smart Parrot
A man in
Puerto Rico had a wonderful parrot. There was no another parrot like it. It was
very, very smart. This parrot would say any word-except one. He would not say
the name of the town where he was born. The name of the town was Catano. The
man tried to teach the parrot to say Catano. But the bird would not say the
word. At first the man was very nice, but then he got angry. “You are a stupid
bird! Why can’t you say the word? Sat CAtano, or I will kill you!” but the
parrot would not say it. Then the man got to so angry that the shouted over and
over, “Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!” but the bird wouldn’t talk.
One day
after trying for many hours to make the bird say Catano, the man got very
angry. He picked up the bird and threw him into the chicken house. “You are
more stupid than the chickens. Soon I will eat them, and I will eat you, too.”
In the chicken house there are
four old chickens. They were for Sunday’s dinner. The man put the parrot in the
chicken house and left.
The next
day the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and stopped. He
was very surprised at what he saw!
He saw
three dead chickens on the floor. The parrot was screaming at the fourth
chicken, “Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!

The government has just published a
report which suggest that television is partly responsible for the serious
increase in crime over the last ten years. The exposure of violence or
pornography harmfully effects on children.
Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without television. Television as we know is only about forty years old. Yet it is so much a part of our lives that it seems as if it had always existed.
Some people think that the years before the invention of television were a better time. They claim that families talked more and did more things together. More books were read. People used their imaginations more fully. People got more outdoor exercises.
But others disagree. They claim that television is a powerful educational tool. It informs us of what is going on in the world, from a famine in Africa to a local politics and fashion. It helps us understand how people live, work, and struggle.
In 1961, Newton Minow, a government official, called prime-time schedules “ a vast wasteland.” Television is credited with being a great teacher, but it is also blamed for the poor reading and writing skills of our population. Television gets praised for helping us understand the people of the world. But it has been accused of helping to destroy family life. Television keeps us informed about the political issues of the day.
Experts will probably continue to argue about television’s value. But everyone agrees that it is one of the most significant inventions of the twentieth century.

The sense of taste is
one of a person's five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the
tongue.There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All
other tastes are just mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen
thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to the brain by special
nerves which send the so-called 'tastes messages.When the tongue comes into
contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The
nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste.
All this happens in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of
taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These four
groups are located in different parts of the tongue.The taste-buds for salty
and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides.
Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of
the bitter taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are
taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight
can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste. Similarly,
attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food
does not smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste
good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations
can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when
placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.
