The Indian parrot repeats every time the young and old ladies say.. Shosha Badrin Al-Tamaymi says to the parrot: I love you.. The parrot repeats after her, so she feels satisfied and hugs him tightly.

Amina Al-Sulaimi, the old lady, looks at the mirror, which reflects the image of the parrot, and says: The eye has not seen a more beautiful one than you.

The two young and old ladies abstained from what the parrot repeats, so they decided to divide it practically by slaughtering it and eating it... half by half... mouth, nose, feathers and feet while they were at the height of their ecstasy.

Shusha Badrin Al-Tamimi, the young lady, thought a lot about this decision before she made it, and she saw abundant tears in the eyes of her lover, the parrot, who broke the barrier of her loneliness and entertained her mother, Amina Al-Sulaimi, after the departure of her dear husband, Badrin Al-Tamaimi. She recalled their first meeting with the parrot in the commercial market when she stopped in front of him. long, she said:

- What a beautiful mouth, mother.

- But he is a skinny Indian, my daughter.

- This will cost you less.

- You have the right to .

- Look, mother, how beautiful his hair is.. his feathers.

- His eyes are black, scary, my daughter.

- How beautiful is its length, mother, we will divide it half for you and half for me.

- How is my daughter?

- I will talk to him directly and you will talk to him at the same time through a mirror that reflects his image, and the three of us will enjoy.

The seller saw the passion of the two young and old women dressed in black through the bright eyes, so he raised the price of the parrot to twenty instead of ten, and the number of its advantages, as it came flying from India to the oasis of the Sahara desert and did not stop for a moment during its flight of thousands of kilometers. With its antique net and expensive price .. Amina Al-Sulaimi tried to distract her daughter Shusha from the parrot because of its high price, and she said:

My daughter, he does not understand our language.

- We will train him, mother, and he will understand shortly.

Amina complied with her daughter's wish, paid twenty to the seller, and took the parrot home to live happily with them until the end of the third year.

Amina Al-Sulaimi began to devour her half, and Shusha Badrin followed her after she saw the beast appearing from her mother’s eyes. However, the loud cry of the parrot reached the ears of the guards, so they came rushing to knock on the door of the tent of the small and large women, to see the blood of the parrot falling from the mouth and on the chest of the two women, and the guards were unable to save The Indian parrot Shusha Badrin al-Tamaymi, the girl, and Amina al-Sulaimi, the mother, were arrested on charges of murder and violating the law that forbids eating rare birds such as the Indian parrot.
