Three sons left home, started careers and prospered. Getting

 

back together, they discussed the gifts that they were able to

 

 

give their elderly mother for her seventieth birthday. The first

 

 

said, "I built a big house for Mom."

 

 

The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."

 

 

The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You know how

 

 

Mom enjoys the Bible and you know she can't see very well. I

 

 

sent her a brown parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It

 

 

took 20 monks in a monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to

 

 

pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for 10 years, but it was

 

 

worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse and the

 

 

parrot will recite it."

 

 

 

Soon thereafter, Mom sent out letters of thanks:

 

 

 

She wrote to the first son, "Milton, the house you built is not

 

 

practical. I live in only one room, but I have to heat, cool,

 

 

and clean the whole house."

 

 

She wrote to the second son, "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I

 

 

stay home all the time, so I never use the Mercedes. And the

 

 

driver is so rude!"

 

She wrote the third son, "Dearest Melvin, you were the only son

 

 

to have the good sense to know what your mother likes.

 

"The chicken was delicious" :rolleyes: :clap2
