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.¡±
