Professor Wang, a lovely linguist, had a super smart African grey parrot named Doudou \ud83d\udc26!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doudou wasn\u2019t just a regular mimic\u2014he\u2019d yell \u201cWei?\u201d \ud83d\udcde the second the phone rang, and cheer \u201cComing!\u201d \ud83d\udd14 when the doorbell chimed. So clever, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having lost his wife early & his son living abroad, Doudou became Professor Wang\u2019s only loyal little chat buddy \u2764\ufe0f. Every day, the professor patiently taught him new words\u2014just like talking to a family member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day, the professor caught a high fever \ud83e\udd12, lying weak in bed. Half-asleep, he mumbled softly: \u201cWater\u2026 I need water\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly, Doudou screamed from his cage\u2014clear & loud\u2014using a sentence the professor had taught but never heard in the right moment: \u201cMy dear! Fetch some water!\u201d \ud83e\udd5b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tears filled the professor\u2019s eyes \ud83d\ude2d. That was the exact phrase he used to say to his late wife. Doudou remembered it\u2014& in his hour of need, he echoed it in the tone he missed most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doudou didn\u2019t understand the weight of those words\u2026 but in that quiet, empty house, his call was like a warm light \u2728, piercing straight into the professor\u2019s heart. He struggled to sit up, smiling softly: \u201cThank you, old friend\u2026 I\u2019ll get it now.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
