A terrified parrot,pursued bya hunter flew into a sage's abode. kind hearted as sages are, he decided to something to eradicate the fear amongst the whole parrot clan. he decided to teach them to be smart, to evade the traps laid by the hunter. in a few days time, the parrot learned the lines "hunter comes and spreads his net. we must be wary and shall not get caught in his net."

 

as marketing guys know, word of mouth effect (WOME) is a powerful tool, so soon all the parrots knew this punchline. The sage was very happy, for he thought, with a master stroke, he has become the messiah.

 

however, his happiness didnt last long. one fine morning while going to the river to take bath, he noticed dozens of parrots, caught in the net flung over the hunter's shoulder, chanting  like a 78 rpm long playing vinly record,"hunter comes and spreads his net. we must be wary and shall not get caught in his net."

 

I am the sage, the parrot and the hunter.
