Late one
night, a burglar broke into a
house he thought was empty. He tiptoed
through the living room but
suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a
loud voice say,
„Jesus is watching you!“ Silence returned to the
house, so the burglar
crept forward again. „Jesus is watching you,“ the
voice boomed
again. The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened.
Frantically, he
looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird
cage and in
the cage was a parrot. He asked the parrot: „Was that you
who said
Jesus is watching me?“
„Yes,“ said the parrot.
The burglar
breathed a sigh of relief and asked the parrot: „What’s
your
name?“
„Clarence,“ said the bird.
„That’s a dumb name for a parrot,“
sneered the burglar. „What idiot
named you Clarence?“
The parrot said,
„The same idiot who named the Rottweiller
Jesus.“
