A、He put it in a cage and starved it. B、He beat and cursed the bird. C、He gave it up to a guest. D、He threw it into the freezer.

A man got a parrot which could already talk. It had belonged to a sailor and had a big vocabulary. However, the man soon discovered that the parrot mostly know bad words.  At first he thought it was funny, but then it became tiresome, and finally, when the man had important guests, the bird’s bad words embarrassed him very much.
    As soon as the guests left, the man angrily shouted at the parrot, "That language must stop!"  But the bird answered him with curses. He shook the bird and shouted again, "Don’t use those ugly words!"  Again the bird cursed him.
    Now the man was really angry.  He grabbed the parrot and threw him into the refrigerator.  But it had no effect.  From inside the refrigerator, the parrot was still swearing.  He opened the door and took him out, and again the bird spoke in dirty words and curses.  This time, the man opened the door of the freezer, threw the bird into it, and closed the door.
    This time there was silence. After two minutes, the man opened the door and removed the very cold parrot. Slowly the shivering parrot walked up the man’s arm, sat on his shoulder and spoke into his ear, sounding very frightened:
    "I’ll be good, I promise... Those chickens in there ...what did they say?"
