Daria was an undergraduate, she had a boyfriend her parents did not know about. Parents were off to the summer cottage from spring to late autumn. Young people used the moment and tried to live a family life.
Dasha had a Congo Gray parrot named Zhorka. Dasha’s boyfriend, Roman, also got along with this smart and sociable bird. During his visits, Roma tamed Zhorka, fed with fruit and allowed him to sit on his shoulder.
Zhorka was not a small bird, and a spacious playground for a parrot was equipped in the house. He allowed Roma to enter his territory. The feathered one showed his abilities to climb stairs specially made for him, hung on his beak and swayed. He spoke all the learned phrases and climbed to kiss.
Soon Zhorka has learned to mimic the laughter of a new comrade very accurately, called him by name just like Daria did. Roman had a specific habit of coughing, although he was not ill. Zhorka also adopted this habit. When he heard Roma’s name or his voice, he also began to cough. Roma laughed, and the parrot laughed with his laughter in response.
The parents of Daria, returning from the summer house, could not understand where Zhora had learned new sounds from. The parrot began to speak and laugh in an unfamiliar masculine voice, shouting «RROMAA» and coughing. Dasha shrugged off their questions and told that it all comes from the series on TV, which supposedly Zhorka was listening to during their absence so that he would not be bored. Parents were amazed and touched by the New skills of the bird and left for the cottage. Meanwhile, Zhora continued to get acquainted with Roma.
In summer, the young couple have graduated from university. Roma got a job and suggested Daria live together. Dasha agreed and finally decided to invite Roma home to the parents’ meeting.
Roman was invited to an official dinner with Dasha’s parents. And as soon as the daughter’s groom crossed the threshold of the apartment, the parents realized that their favorite Zhorka was well acquainted with the guy. He shouted loud “Roma”, flew up to him and sat on his shoulder. Roman was embarrassed, his parents laughed. Young people were invited to the table.
Roma was worried and began to cough. And then Zhorka, hearing familiar sounds, began to cough in response, after which he laughed with Roma’s laugh.
Dasha’s father slapped himself on the knee and said: “Well-well! Look, Roma watches the same series as Zhora. There, he even coughs the same way!” Daria and Roma blushed. Parents understood everything and did not begin moralizing, they remembered themselves young too.
At the family council, they decided that if Roman passed the Zhorka’s test, and the feathered one accepted the guy as a friend, then such a groom is suitable for the daughter. Young people moved to their first shared housing, and a year later they got married. They visit Dasha’s parents and Zhorka often and Zhorka is always very happy when Roma comes. Every time he meets Roma, calling his name and invariably coughing.
