At dawn the telephone rings. 'Hello, Master Carlos? This
is Arnaldo your country house caretaker'
'Ah yes, Mr. Arnaldo. What can I do for you? Is there a
problem?'
'Um, I am just calling to advise you, sir, that your
parrot died'
'My parrot? Dead? The one that won the competition?'
'That's the one.'
'Darn! That's such a pity! I spent a small fortune on
that bird. Oh well...what did he die from?'
'From eating rotten meat.'
'Rotten meat? Who was so mean as to give him meat?'
'Nobody. He ate the meat of one of the dead horses.'
'Dead horse? What dead horse Mr. Arnaldo?'
'Why, those pure breed ones that you had, sir. They died
from all that work pulling the water cart.'
'Are you insane? What water cart?'
'The one we used to put out the fire.'
'Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?'
'The one at your house! A candle fell and then the
curtain caught on fire.'
'What the.....!!! But theres electricity at the
house!!!!
What was the candle for???'
'For the funeral.'
'WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL???!!!!!'
'Your mother's! She showed up one night out of the blue
and I thought she was a thief, so I shot her.'
