Three brothers, all successful businessmen, decided to show off their success by giving their elderly mother extravagant gifts.

Melvin, the youngest, leaned back and smiled.
“Well, I gave Mama something money can’t buy. You know how much she loves the Bible, but she can’t read anymore because of her eyesight? I found a parrot that recites the entire Bible. Took 20 preachers 12 years to train it.”
The brothers felt pretty smug about their gifts until the thank-you notes arrives.

Milton, the house you built is enormous. I only live in one room, but I have to clean the entire place. Thanks anyway.
Marvin, the theater is beautiful, but my hearing is so bad I can’t use it. And all my friends are gone, so I’d have no one to watch anything with. I appreciate the thought.
Dearest Melvin, you’re the only son who really through about what I needed. The chicken was delicious. Thank you!
