THE APPRECIATED GIFT
(From J.T. Wild)

Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and
lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner
together . They discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their
elderly mother who lived far away in another city.
 
The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."

The second said, "I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the house"

The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver her an SL600."

The fourth said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and
you know she can't read it anymore because she can't see very well. I met this
priest who told me about a parrot that can recite the
entire Bible. It took twenty priests 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to
contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it.
Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot
will recite it."
 
The other brothers were impressed.
 
After the holidays Mom sent out her 'Thank You' notes.
 
She wrote:

"Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have
to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."

"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so
 I never use the Mercedes.
The thought was good. Thanks."

 "Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50
people, but all 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 Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little
thought to your gift.
The chicken was delicious. Thank you."
