Retell the joke using Reported Speech.
THE CLEVER PARROT
A man who had a fine green parrot at home taught the bird to say, "There is no doubt about it."
One night the man buried some money in different places in the village, next morning he went through the village with the bird and cried out, "My parrot is wise. He will show me where to dig for money."
The parrot answered, "There is no doubt about it."
Each time the man found money in the place where he had put it after he asked the bird if it was the right place to dig. One man thought, "If I can get that parrot, I'll be very rich." So he asked the owner of the parrot to sell it for one thousand pieces of gold.
The young man took the parrot and started to look for money at once. Many times he asked the bird, "If I dig here, shall I find some gold?"
Every time the parrot answered, "There is no doubt about it." But the young man didn't find any gold.
At last he understood the trick of the owner of the par- rot, turned to the bird and said, "Oh, wise bird, I think I was foolish. I paid a thousand pieces of gold for you."
The parrot answered, "There is no doubt about itl."
