(ORIENTATION) Once upon 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 could not say the
name of its master. The name of its master was
Bambang.
(COMPLICATION)
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why the parrot would not say his name Bambang. The man tried to teach the bird to say Bambang, 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. “You stupid, idiot bird!” pointed the man to the parrot. “Why can’t you say the word? Say Bambang! 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 Bambang or I’ll kill you”. The bird kept not to say the word of Bambang.
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Bambang, 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 idiot parrot”. After that he left the chicken house.
(RESOLUTION)
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 Bambang or I’ll kill you”.
