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. The third smiled and said, Ive got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she cant see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. Hes 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: Milton, she wrote one son, The house you built is too huge. I live in only one room, but I have to keep the whole house clean! Gerald, she wrote to another, I am too old to travel. I stay at home most of the time, so I rarely use the Mercedes. Dearest Donald, she wrote to her third son, You have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious! - Pream Anand
