The mayor of Phoenix was very
worried about a plague of pigeons. The Mayor could not remove the pigeons
from the city and Phoenix was full of Pigeon poop. The people were slipping
on the sidewalks and skidding on the roads. It was costing a fortune to keep
the city clean.
One day a man came to city hall and offered the mayor a proposition. "I can
rid your beautiful city of its plague of pigeons without any help from your
men. But, you must promise not to ask me any questions. Or, you can pay me
five million dollars and ask one question."
The mayor considered the offer briefly and accepted the free proposition.
The next day, the man climbed to the top of city hall, opened his coat and
released a blue pigeon. The blue pigeon circled the building and flew up
into the bright blue Arizona sky. All the pigeons saw the blue pigeon. They
gathered up behind it and the followed the blue pigeon as it flew southward
out of the city. The next day, the blue pigeon returned completely alone to
the roof of city hall. The mayor was impressed. He thought the man and the
blue pigeon had performed a wonderful, miraculous feat to rid the city of
the plague of pigeons.
Even though the man with the blue pigeon had charged nothing, the mayor
handed him five million dollars because he wanted to ask one question. The
man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his question.
The mayor asked, "Do you have a blue Mexican?"
