The Blue Pigeon

The Mayor of Birmingham was very worried about a plague of pigeons. He could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Birmingham was full of pigeon

poop, the people of Birmingham could not walk on the pavements or drive on the roads. It was costing a fortune to keep the streets and pavements 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 cost to the city But, you must promise not to ask me any questions. Or, you can pay me one million pounds and ask one question.â€

 

 

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 in the air and flew up into the bright blue sky. All the pigeons in Birmingham saw the blue pigeon and gathered up behind it. The Birmingham pigeons followed the blue pigeon as she flew southward out of the city. The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone to the man atop City Hall.

 

 

The Mayor was very impressed. He thought the man and the blue pigeon had performed a wonderful miraculous feat to rid Birmingham of the plague of

pigeons. Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing, the Mayor presented him with a cheque for 1 million pounds and told the man that, indeed, he did have a question to ask. The man accepted the money and told the Mayor to ask his question.

 

 

“Do you have a blue Asylum Seeker?†asked the Mayor.
