Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful ... doctor,
engineer, accountant and lawyer and prospered.
Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed
the gifts that they were able to give to 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 her an SL600."
The fourth said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loved reading the Bible
and you know she can't read it anymore because she can't see very well. I
met this priest who told me about a parrot that can recite the entire Bible.
It took twenty priests 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. Mama
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 give me an expensive theater with Dolby sound. It could hold
50 people, but all 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. It was ages since I had nice chicken, and the
chicken you sent was very delicious. Thank you."
