David received a parrot for his birthday. 
This parrot was fully grown
with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary.

Every other word was an expletive.
  Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least
rude.

David tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could think of to try and set a good example.

Nothing worked.  He yelled at the bird and
the bird got worse. He shook the bird
and the bird got more angry and more rude.

Finally, in a moment of desperation, David put the parrot in the freezer.
For a few moments he heard the bird squawking,
kicking, and screaming--then suddenly
there was quiet.
David was frightened that he might
have hurt the bird and quickly
opened the freezer door.

  The parrot calmly stepped out onto David's
extended arm and said:
"I'm sorry that I might have offended you with my
language and action and I ask your forgiveness.
  I will endeavor to correct
my
behavior."

David was astonished at the bird's change
in attitude and was
about to ask what had made such
a dramatic change when the parrot
continued:
"May I ask what the chicken did?"
