Four brothers all became successful business men and lawyers and lived
across the country from each other.
They met to discuss the 95th birthday party and gifts they were to give
their elderly mother.
The first said, "You know I have had a big house built for Mom."
The second said, "And I had a large theatre room built into that house."
The third said, "And I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."
The fourth said, "You know how Mom loved reading the Bible and you know
she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this
minister who told me about a parrot who could recite the entire
Bible. It took ten ministers almost 8 years to teach him. I had to
pledge to contribute $50,000 a year for five years to the church, but
it was worth it. Mom only has to name the chapter and verse, and
the parrot will recite it."
The other brothers were impressed. After the celebration Mom sent out her
"Thank You" notes.
She wrote: "Michael, the house you built is so huge that I live in only one
room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thank you anyway."
"Mervin, I am too old to travel. I stay home; I have my groceries delivered,
so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thank you."
"Mark, you gave me an expensive theatre with Dolby sound and it can 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 Mitchell, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a
little thought to your gift. The Cornish hen was delicious. Thank you so
much."
Love, Mom
