Story of the Master of the House with the Woman and the Parrot
and its feathers and wings he tore apart and severed, and cast it outside. By chance,
one of his friends passed by the door of the house, saw the parrot in that state, and asked: 'Upon what accusation of crime
did you inflict such torture and violence upon this parrot, and by what proof have you deemed its blood lawful,
like the blood of the sacrifices of the Sanctuary? For this parrot was exceedingly graceful and eloquent,
the greenness of its wings was like fresh green corn and spring, and its beak was like a lustrous ruby!'
