One day, a man decided to test the intelligence of his pet parrot by teaching it a new phrase. He spent days repeating the phrase "I love you" to the parrot, but no matter how hard he tried, the parrot wouldn't say it back.
Frustrated, the man decided to take a different approach. He taught the parrot a new phrase: "I hate you." To his surprise, the parrot immediately responded with "I love you!"
Confused, the man asked the parrot why it didn't say "I love you" when he first taught it. The parrot replied, "Well, I didn't want you to get a big head, thinking I actually liked you!"
