Four brothers left home for college, and they became
successful doctors and lawyers and prospered.
Some years later, they chatted after having dinner
together.They discussed the gifts they were able to give their
elderly mother who lived far away in another city.
The first said, \"I had a big house built for Mama.\"
The second said, \"I had a hundred thousand dollar
theater built in the house.\"
The third said, \"I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an
SL600 to her.\"
The fourth said, \"You know how Mamma loved reading the
Bible and you know she can\'t read anymore because she can\'t see very
well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite
the entire bible.
It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach him. I had
to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the
church, but it was worth it.
Mamma just has to name the chapter and
verse and the parrot will recite it.\"
The other brothers were impressed.
After the holidays Mom sent out her Thank You notes.
She wrote:
\" Milton , the house you built is so huge. I live in
only one room, but I have to clean the whole house.
Thanks anyway.\"
\"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have
my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes.
The thought was good.Thanks\"
\"Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby
sound, it could hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I\'ve
lost my hearing and I\'m nearly blind. I\'ll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same.\"
\"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the
good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was
delicious.
Thank you.\"
