Three rich brothers each wanted to do something special for their old mother on her birthday. The first brother bought her a huge house. The second brother gave her a big car, with a driver. The third brother remembered that his mother used to love to read the Bible, but couldn’t see well anymore, so he gave her a specially trained parrot that could read from the Bible. Soon, the brothers received letters from their mother. The first letter said, “The house that you bought me is much too big. I only live in a small part of it, but I have to clean the whole house.” The second son got a letter that said, “I don’t leave the house very often, so I don’t use the car very often. And when I use it, the driver is so rude.” The third son got a letter that said, “My darling baby boy, you know what your mother loves. The chicken was very tasty.”
