THE SMARTEST PARROT
Once upon a time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was
no other parrot like it. The parrot could say every word, except one
word. The parrot would not say the name of the place where it was
born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could
not understand why the parrot would not say Catano. The man
tried to teach the bird to say Catano, however the bird kept not
saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got
very angry. Youre stupid bird! pointed the man to the parrot.
Why cant you say the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill you, the
man said angrily.
Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it.
Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over;
Say Catano or Ill kill you. The bird kept not to say the word of
Catano.
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the
bird say Catano, the man really got very angry. He could not bear
it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There
were four old chickens for next dinner You are as stupid as the
chickens. Just stay with them Said the man angrily. Then he
continued to humble; You know, I will cut the chicken for my
meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot.
After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He
opened the door and was very surprised. He could not believe what
he saw at the chicken house. There were three death chickens on
the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and
screaming at the last old chicken; Say Catano or Ill kill you.

The texts above are posters. A poster is any piece of printed paper
designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Typically posters
include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be
either a wholly graphical or wholly text. Posters are designed to be
both eye-catching and convey information. Posters may be used for
many purposes. They are a frequent tool of advertisers (particularly of
events, musicians or films), propagandists, protestors and other groups
trying to communicate a message. Posters are also used for
reproductions of artwork, particularly famous works, and are generally
low-cost compared to original artwork. Another type of poster is the
educational poster, which may be about a particular subject for
educational purposes.
