Once upon a time in Persia, there was a merchant who traveled the world for his business. On one of his journeys to India, he received a beautiful parrot as a gift and named him Tuti. He loved Tuti deeply and put him in a shiny golden cage. Days passed, but no matter how much the merchant cared for his parrot, the colorful bird seemed sad. Before leaving for India again, the merchant asked Tuti, "What present would you like me to bring from India?"
"When you see the parrots of India, look for my friend and tell her all about me.

(A) A few days later, he arrived home and went straight to Tuti. "Did you give my message to my friend?" his parrot asked him happily. The merchant told him the whole story. The moment he finished, Tuti trembled and fell down dead, just like the parrot in India. Shocked and with tears trickling down his face, the merchant held Tuti in his arms.

(B) Suddenly, he flew and escaped through a window into the garden. "Why are you acting like this?" he asked Tuti. "This is a trick my friend taught me to regain my freedom by playing dead. You are a good master, but I am a bird and I wish to be free, not live my life in a cage," answered Tuti. The merchant realized that freedom mattered more than all the wealth in the world and he was happy to have the company of two beautiful parrots occasionally.

(C) Tell her that I would love to see her, but I can't because I live in a cage," Tuti answered. The merchant loved his parrot so much that he couldn't imagine letting him out of the cage for fear of losing him, but he promised to deliver the message and then left to go on his trip. At the end of his visit to India, he found Tuti's friend and repeated Tuti's exact words. The moment the merchant finished the last sentence, Tuti's friend began to tremble and fell down dead. He couldn't believe his eyes. "How can I tell this sad news to Tuti?" he said.
