A woman eager for company buys a parakeet from the local pet store. She brings it home only to have her anticipation killed when the bird doesn't speak. She goes back to the pet store and buys the bird a coil of yarn for its cage.
The bird doesn't talk.
She goes back to the pet store and buys the bird a bell.
The bird still doesn't speak.
She goes to the pet store and buys a hammock and a home for the bird.
Still nothing.
One day she walks by the birds cage to see it dying on the floor of its home. With its last strength, the bird slowly sits up and whispers,
"Don't they have any food at the pet store?"
