PARROT AS THIEF
DIAMOND RING VANISHES. A few weeks ago Mr Joel Dschapur, an Indian artist, of Budapest, informed the police that a valued diamond ring had vanished from his room. Detectives searched the room and the house, and interrogated its inmates, without success, but much to the amusement of the landlady’s parrot, who followed proceedings from its cage. Happily, one of the detectives suspected the parrot of plagiarising innumerable short stories, and inquired if the bird ever got out of its cage. On hearing that it frequently was allowed to walk about the room, he inspected the cage, and found the ring in a neat cache among the sand at the bottom.
