Ebenezer
& Jesus
A burglar
breaks into an isolated country house after watching the whole family depart
for a night out on the town. As he creeps across the darkened living room
he hears a voice saying:
"I can
see you ..... and Jesus can see you".
The burglar shines his penlight torch around the room, but sees nothing. He takes another step, and he hears it again:
"I can see you ..... and Jesus can see you".
This time he realizes the voice comes from above, and when he shines his torch around he sees a parrot sitting on top of a cupboard. It looks him in the eye and says:
"I can see you ..... and Jesus can see you".
The burglar laughs and says "You're just a parrot". The parrot looks him in the eye and says "I'm a parrot and my name is Ebenezer". The burglar laughs again, and says "Ebenezer is a pretty silly name for a parrot". The parrot looks him in the eye, waits until he has stopped laughing, and says:
"I agree completely ......... and Jesus is a pretty silly name for a Rotweiler".
