Four   Jewish 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 with a chauffeur.



The fourth said, "Listen



            to this. You know how Mama loved reading  the Torah and



            you know she can't read it anymore  because she can't see very



            well.  I met  this Rabbi who told me about a  parrot



            that can recite the entire Torah. It  took twenty rabbis 12



            years to teach him.  I had to pledge to contribute



            $100,000 a year for twenty years to the temple,  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...and the  driver you hired is a



            Nazi.  The thought was good.



            Thanks."



Menachim, you give 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."
