    Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered 1.

    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. Youremember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible 2? And you knowshe can't see very well.  So I sent her a remarkableparrot that recites the entire Bible.  It took elders inthe church 12 years to teach him.  He's one of a kind.

    Mama just has to name the chapter and verse 3, and theparrot recites it."Soon thereafter 4, mom sent out her letters of thanks:

    "Milton," she wrote one son, "The house you built is sohuge.  I live in only one room, but I have to clean thewhole house.""Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel.

    I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use theMercedes.  And the driver is so rude!""Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "You havethe good sense to know what your mother likes.  Thechicken was delicious."
