“Have you ruined me Ramanna?” [said a man to his parrot] “Is there any doubt of that?” it replied. A man was duped into buying a parrot by the seller pretending it had power to discover hidden treasure. He pointed to a place where money had been previously buried and enquired of the parrot, which answered "Is there any doubt of that?" the only sentence it had been taught to repeat. The purchaser having bought the parrot for a large sum, in vain endeavoured to cause it to discover treasure. At last in his disappointment he cried "Have you ruined me Ramanna?" when he received the same answer " Is there any doubt of that?" Applied to a person who knowingly gives bad advice to others, and then laughs at their misfortunes.
