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 and 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. 4laugh
