A Baniya had a parrot named Mitthu; that was very clever and witty. However the Parrot's foul mouth had let to a considerable loss of business for the Baniya. The parrot wouldn't spare anyone, with his -maa- -bahen- ki galis***. The Baniya decides to get rid of the Parrot, as business has taken a turn for the worse. He advertises "a smart and witty talking Parrot for sale", but omits the colorful language the bird is capable of.
The next day The Baniya tell the parrrot, that there is a very distinguished lady coming to the shop to take a look at him, and that he should be at his best behavior. Around mid-day a car stops in front of the shop and a middle aged lady gets out. The parrot Mithu says to the Baniya: "Babuji Yeh to Gashti hai" (She's a slut, babuji).
The shopkeeper reprimands the Parrot and tell him that if his foul mouth stall the sale; he'd cook him up for dinner that evening. The lady comes to shop and says....."mai sunya hai ke thoude kol toata for sale hai, kuch aur dasso na" (I believe you have a parrot for sale, can you give me some more info).
Baniya: "eh dekiye ji toata, beautiful bird, te bolda bhi hai".
Lady : "accha bolda bhi hai, ki bolda hai"?
Baniya: "aji je tuse isda bayaan phang chakko tai English bolda hai.... ....... Dehna phang chakko-tai Urdu wich bolda hai..... ..... dehni laat chakko- tai Malyalayam bolda hai...... .... Bayeen laat chakko- to Bangali bolta hai.... (If you lift his left wing- he speaks English, Urdu if you lift the right. Malayalam if you lift the right leg, Bengali if you lift the left )
Lady: "accha! (she's excited) Jay main dono lattan chak dava taan? (and if I lift both legs)
The witty parrot can't resist and butts in "mene dasseya se na babuji .... eh GASHTI hai". (I told you she's a slut).
