   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 with a driver.” ¬†¬†¬†¬† The third smiled and said, “I’ve got you, both beat. ¬†¬†¬†¬† You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she ¬†¬†¬†¬† can’t see very well. I sent her a parrot that can ¬†¬†¬†¬† recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a ¬†¬† ¬†¬†monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to ¬†¬†¬†¬† contribute $100,000.00 a year for 10 years, but it was ¬†¬†¬†¬† worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, ¬†¬†¬†¬† and the parrot will recite it. ¬†¬†¬† ¬†¬†¬†¬† “Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: ¬†¬†¬†¬† “ Milton,” she wrote the first son, “the house you built is so huge. ¬†I live in only one room, but have to ¬†¬†¬†¬† clean the whole house.” ¬†¬†¬† ¬†¬†¬†¬† “Marvin,” she wrote to another, “I am too old to ¬†¬†¬†¬† travel. I stay home all the time, so I never use the ¬†¬†¬†¬† Mercedes, and the driver is so rude!” ¬†¬†¬† ¬†¬†¬†¬† “Dearest Melvin,” she wrote to her third son, “You ¬†¬†¬†¬† were the only son to have the good sense to know what ¬†¬†¬†¬† your mother likes, that chicken was delicious.” ¬†¬†¬† ¬†¬†¬†¬† Kahaani me jabardat twist hai na……. ¬† |
