Night came on, and with it came Parbuttee and Mahdeo, flying round the world to see the different races of men. Among the many places they visited was the city where the Carpenter lived; and in the garden in front of the house they saw the thousand wooden parrots which the Rajah had made and painted and varnished, all placed out to dry.
Then Parbuttee turned to Mahdeo, and said, "These parrots are very well made they need nothing but life. Why should not we give them life?" Mahdeo answered, "What would be the use of that? It would be a strange freak, indeed!" "Oh," said Parbuttee, "I only meant you to do it as an amusement. It would be so funny to see the wooden parrots flying about! But do not do it if you don't like."
"You would like it, then?" answered Mahdeo. "Very well, I will do it." And he endowed the thousand parrots with life. Parbuttee and Mahdeo then flew away.
