They lived with their two young ones, which they took good care of. The parrot parents went out to gather food in the morning and came back home by evening. However, the young parrots were taken by a cruel hunter. One of the birds managed to run away from the hunter. He ended up at a hermitage（隐士住处）and grew up listening to kind words. The hunter put the other parrot in a cage, and soon it learned a few words and phrases. The hunter and his family didn’t care much about kind words. One day, a passerby was resting outside the hunter’s hut. Sensing someone outside, the parrot said, “Fool, why are you here? Fool! Leave! I’ll cut your throat.” Scared, the traveler went away, and on his journey, he reached the hermitage where the other parrot was. The parrot at the hermitage spoke, “Welcome traveler.
