There he sees a parrot with a red string tied to its left leg and a green string tied to it's right leg. He asks the owner the significance of the strings. "Well, this is a highly trained parrot. If you pull the red string he speaks French; if you pull the green string he speaks German," replies the shop keeper. "And what happens if I pull both the strings?" our curious shopper inquires. "I fall off my perch you fool!!" screeches the parrot. [4] ~~~~~~~ TRIVIA: Beavers have orange teeth! Beavers use their front teeth (two on the top and two on the bottom) to gnaw through bark, branches, and tree trunks. These teeth have an extremely tough orange coating that protects them from being broken or chipped while cutting wood. Beavers' strong teeth make them efficient wood cutters; it takes them only 30 seconds to gnaw through a branch the size of a rolling pin.
