talked about the gifts for their old mother.    

      The first son said, "I'll buy a big house for our mother. "    

      The second son said, "I'll give her a sports car with a driver. "    

      The third son said, "I'll get her something special (特别的). "You know Mom enjoys reading books.  But you know, she can't see very well. So I'll get her a parrot. It can recite books.  The seller spends

12 years teaching it. "

       Later, Mom wrote her letters of thanks to them one by one,"Milton,"she wrote to one son , "The

house is so big, I live in only one room, but I have to clean all the house. "    

       "Gerald," she wrote to the second one,"I am old now, so I don't want to travel. I stay at home most

of the time, so I use the sports car very little!"

delicious. "
