"UNCLE."
Determined to make his pet parrot say "Uncle," old Fizzgig grabbed his old parrot by the neck and swung it into the air. But that did not alter its mind. For punishment the parrot was locked up in the fowlhouse with ten hens. During the night old Fizzgig heard a terrible row outside. Rushing to the door he saw that nine of his hens were lying dead on the ground. The tenth was hanging by its neck in the parrot's beak and was getting swung from side, to side. At the same time the parrot was saying to it, "Say 'Uncle!' Say 'Uncle!' will yer?"
