FINGER LICKIN' GOOD!
Three very prosperous sons
discussed getting gifts
for their elderly mother.
The first one said,
"I'll build her
a big house."
The second one decided
to get her
a big car with a
driver
.
The third one smiled
and said,
"I've got you both beat."
"Remember how Mama enjoyed
reading the Bible?
And you know
she can't see very well.
I'm going to get her
a remarkable parrot
that recites the entire Bible.
It took the church elders
12 years to teach him.
He's one of a kind.
All Mama has to do is name
the chapter and verse
she wants to hear
and the parrot will recite it."
After Mama received her presents,
she sent a letter
to each of her sons.
"Sammy," she wrote,
"The house
you built is
too large.
I just live in one room and
have to clean the whole house."
"Jimmy," she wrote to the second son,
"I'm too old to travel. I stay
home most of the time,
so I rarely use the big car
and the
driver
is so rude!"
And to the third son, she wrote:
"Dearest Billy,
You had the good sense
to know just what your
Mama really likes."
"The
chicken
was
finger lickin' good!
"
