The Parrot

​”Look at the parrot on the branch there, Boxida,” said Bruhi, tugging her hand.

​They watched the parrot and its movements for a while in silence.

​”Did you show me the parrot because it’s rare to see one, or because it’s more beautiful than most other birds?”

​”I think it’s because it’s beautiful and… rare.”

​”Are you sure?”

​”No.”

​”How did you answer that, then?”

​”No idea. Do you know?”

​”No.”

​They watched the parrot and its movements for a while in silence.
