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."
