An elderly woman was recently widowed, and had four sons. Each son had done extremely well for hisself and all were very well off. Their mother had led a life of struggle raising them and they wanted to do something special for her, and set out to each find an appropriate gift. The eldest son decided that his mother had never had a nice house to call her own and bought her a 6 bedroom house overlooking a scenic lake. The second son, knowing her love of movies had a theater built onto the house. The third knowing that his mother would need transportation to town for groceries and such called the BMW dealership and ordered the nicest sedan that BMW made and had it delivered to her. The last son knowing his mothers love of the Bible and Jesus sought out an appropriate gift with the Lord in mind. He finally found a parrot that had been trained to recite any bible verse if it was told the book;chapter;verse. Twenty church scholars had spent countless years to teach this bird all it knew, and the son had to make a $100,000 donation to the church to secure the bird for his mother. A short while after recieving all of these elaborate gifts the mother called her youngest son and was explaining all of these gifts to him. She said that the house, even though all she could have ever wanted in house was way too large for her, and quite a chore to keep clean, the theater was also qute nice and very much appreciated, but she had no freinds to watch movies with anymore, the car was beautiful, but she had most things delivered and rarely left the house anymore. She said that the gift she had recieved from him, her youngest son was the most thoughtfull of all, and said thank you very much for the chicken it was delicious. Very Happy
