Gifts For Mom

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 remember how Mom enjoyed reading the Bible, but you know
she can't see very well. I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the
 entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him.
He's one of a kind. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse,
and the parrot recites it."
Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks to her boys.
"Milton," she wrote one son, "the house you built is so huge.
I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."
"Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. Most of the
time, I stay at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And that driver is so rude!"
"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "of all my sons, you have
the good sense to know what your mother likes."
"Thank you sweetheart, the chicken was delicious!"
