Αποστολέας: Ανώνυμος

There was a little old lady who was nearly blind and she had three jealous sons who each wanted to prove that they were the best son to her.

The first son bought her a 15 room mansion, thinking it would be the best any of then could offer.

The second son bought her a beautiful Mercedes with a chauffeur, thinking this would certainly win her approval.

The third son had to do even better, so he bought her a trained parrot, that had been in training for 15 years to memorize the entire Bible. You could ask him any verse of the Bible, and the parrot could quote it word for word. That certainly would be the best gift of all!

Well, the lady went to the first son and said, "Son, the house is beautiful, but its just too big for me. I only live in one room, and its just too hard to clean and take care of the rest. Thank you anyway."

Then to the second son she said, "The car was gorgeous, but I really dont go out much, and its such a waste. Besides, the driver is pretty irritating and I really
dont like him that well. I appreciate your effort, but could you please return the car?"

Then she spoke to the third son. "Son, Id like to thank you for the most thoughtful gift of all! That chicken was delicious."
