Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back
together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly
mother.
The first said, "I built a big house for our mother."
The second said," I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."
The third smiled and said, "I have got you, both beat. You know how Mom
enjoys the Bible, and you know her eyesight has failed her to the point
that she can no longer read.. I sent her a brown parrot that can recite
the entire Bible. It took twenty monks in a monastery twelve years to teach
him. I had to pledge to contribute one hundred thousand a year for ten 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 her letters of thanks:
"Milton," she wrote the first son, "the house you built is so huge. I
live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."
"Marvin," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. I stay home
all the time, so I never use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!"
"Dearest Melvin," she wrote to her third son, "you were the only son to
have the good sense to know what your mother likes.......
That chicken was delicious."
LOL!
