Mama`s Bible

MAMA'S BIBLE
>
>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 they were able to
>give 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 an
>SL600 to her."
>
>The fourth said, "You know how Mamma loved reading the
>Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she
>can't see very well. I met this preacher who told me
>about a parrot that can recite the entire bible. It
>took twenty preachers 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. Mamma 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 of 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 BOB, you were the only son to have the good
>sense to give a little thought to your gift... The
>chicken was delicious. Thank you."
>
>Luv Ya, Mama
