|你了解妈妈最需要什么吗

Presents To Mother
There was a woman who had three sons. When they had grown up the sons left home went out on their own and prospered1 years later. Getting back together they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.
The first said, I will build a big house for our mother.
The second said, I will send her a Mercedes with a driver.
The third said, Remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible And you know she cant see very well. I sent her a remarkable2 parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse3 and the parrot recites it.
Soon thereafter4 mom sent out her letters of thanks.
Milton, she wrote to one son, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room but I have to clean the whole house.
Gerald, she wrote to another, I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude.
Dearest Donald, she wrote to her third son, you have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious.
一个女性有3个儿子。长大成人后，儿子们纷纷出外谋生，数年后功成名就。回到家乡，他们聚在一块，商量送什么礼物最合适给年迈的妈妈。
第一个说：我要给妈妈建一所大房屋。
第二个说：我要把一辆梅塞德斯连同司机一块送给妈妈。
第三个说：你们还记得吧？母亲特别喜欢读《圣经》。你们也了解，她的眼目前有点花了。我要送她一只非同一般的鹦鹉，这只鹦鹉可以将整部《圣经》背诵下来，神父们花了12年的时间才教会它。母亲仅需说出篇章、段落，这只鹦鹉就能把它背出来。
之后不久，妈妈给儿子们分别回信表示感谢。
米尔顿，她在信中给一个儿子写道，你为我建的房屋实在有点太大了，我只住一个房间，却需要打扫整所房屋。
杰罗德，她给另一个儿子写道，我太老了，不可以再出去旅游了。大多数时间我都待在家，那辆梅塞德斯极少用。而且，那个司机也太粗鲁了！
我最亲爱的唐纳德，在给第三个儿子的信中她写道，你最了解母亲需要什么，那只小鸡很美味。
