该句通过形容词短语修饰名词，突出外貌与价格的反差。
A parrot went to buy other parrots and saw one priced at 200 yuan, which could speak two languages, and another priced at 400 yuan, which could speak four languages. Both were bright-feathered, lively, and adorable. The buyer hesitated, unsure which to choose.
Suddenly, he noticed an old parrot with dull, messy feathers, priced at 800 yuan. He quickly called the shop owner: Does this parrot speak eight languages? The owner replied: No.
The buyer was puzzled: why is this old, unattractive, and less capable parrot worth so much? The owner explained: because the other two parrots call it 'boss'.
This story illustrates that a true leader does not need to be the most capable individually. By trusting, empowering, and valuing the team, one can unite even stronger forces and thereby enhance one’s own worth.
鹦鹉去买鹦鹉，看到一只鹦鹉标价二百元，说明它会两门语言；另一只标价四百元，会四门语言。两只鹦鹉都毛色光鲜，非常灵活可爱。这人犹豫不决，不知道该选哪只。
突然，他发现一只老掉了牙、毛色暗淡散乱的鹦鹉，标价八百元。他赶紧叫来店主：这只鹦鹉是不是会说八门语言？店主回答：不是。
这人感到奇怪：那为什么又老又丑、能力有限，却价值这么高？店主解释道：因为另外两只鹦鹉都叫它老板。
这个故事告诉我们，真正的领导人不一定自身能力最强，只要懂得信任、善于放权、珍惜团队，就能团结比自己更强的力量，从而提升自己的价值。
