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'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 $100,000.00 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 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."
