A pet-shop customer couldn't believe his good fortune.
A parrot he had just bought could recite Shakespears'sonnets,_intone Homer's epics,_and imitate opera stars. Right when he took this bird home not another word came out of the parrot's beak. After three weeks later , the inconsolable man returned to the shop and asked for his money back,
"when we had this bird" said the proprietor "he should recite the poems and sing like an angel,_now u wanted me to take him back since he is no longer himself? Well, out my goodness I will pay u 100$. Reluctantly, the customer accepted his loss and just as the door shut behind him, he heard the bird say to the proprietor "don't forget my share is 250$.
**Regards!! :D

A bad joke
Today i wanna tell you guys a bad joke. ^^You know what they say: "Just one laugh makes person ten years younger."
A pet-shop customer couldn't believe his good fortune. A parrot he had just bought could recite Shakespeare's sonnets, intone Homer's epic, and imitate opera stars. [And it only cost $500!] But as soon as he took this bird home, not another word came out of the parrot's beak After three weeks
"When we had this bird," said the proprietor, "he could recite poetry and sing like an angel
That's a good one and well told. I suggest you mention the full price earlier in the story so you set up the funny ending to the joke. I wish there really were birds like this. It would be fun to hang out with that bird during the day.
When you use time expressions in the past tense, you can say:
* After three weeks...
* Three weeks later...
* Three weeks after that...
These all have the same meaning (三个星期以后)
You can also say:
* Three weeks AGO...
* Three weeks before that...
In this case the meaning is 三个星期以前
Also, "out of the goodness of my heart" is a common idiom or set phrase, very useful.
* Three weeks before that
