There was this little old lady who was nearly blind and she had
three sons who wanted to prove which one was the best son to her.
So son #1 bought her a 15 room mansion thinking this would surely be
the best any of them could offer her.
Son #2 bought her a beautiful Mercedes with a chauffeur included
thinking her would surely win her approval.
Son #3 had to do something even better than these so he bought her a
trained parrot that had been training for 15 years to memorize the
entire Bible. You could ask of him any verse in the Bible and the
parrot could quote it word for word. What a gift that would be.
Well, the old lady went to the first son and said, "Son, the house
is just gorgeous but it's really much too big for me. I only live
in one room, and it's much too large for me to clean and take care
of. I really don't need the house, but thank you anyway."
Then she confronted her second son with "Son, the car is beautiful,
it has everything you could ever want on it, but I don't drive and I
really don't like that driver, so please return the car."
Next, she went to son number three and said, "Son I just want to
thank you for that most thoughtful gift. That chicken was
delicious."
