Three gifts سه هدیه برای مادر
Three sons left home, went out on their own and became rich. Getting back
together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their old mother. The
first brother, Donald, said, "I built a big house for our mother." The second
brother, Robert, said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." The third brother,
Joseph, said, "You remember how mom enjoys reading Shakespeare. She can't see
very well, so I sent her a special parrot that can say the complete works of
Shakespeare. It took trainer 12 years to teach him. Mama just has to name a poem
and the parrot recites it." Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks.
"Donald," she said, "the house you built is so big. I live only in one room, but
I have to clean the whole house." To her second son, she wrote, "Robert, I am
too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes.
And that driver is not kind! He's so much trouble!" Finally, to her third son,
she wrote, "My dearest Joseph," she said, "the chicken was delicious!"
