Mother's Gifts

The 3 brothers got 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?And 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.Mama just has to name the chapter and verse,and the parrot recites it."

Soon thereafter,Mom sent out her letters of thanks:"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.I stay most of the time at home,So I rarely use the Mercedes.And the driver is so rude!"

"Dearest Donald,"She wrote to her third son,"You have the good sense To know what your mother likes.The chicken was delicious."
