Question

Amy had three sons, Dave, Bill and Bob. Every year her sons sent her expensive gifts on her birthday.

The eldest son Dave, had a lot of money and he wanted his mother to have the most expensive gifts, but he didn’t know what to buy. So he put an ad in the newspaper. “Wanted—the greatest gift for my mother.”

About a week before his mother’s birthday, a man came to his office. He brought a big bird.

“This bird can speak six languages and sing eight songs.” the man said.

“Really? I’d like to listen to it,” Dave said.

The man made the bird talk in French and tell a joke in Japanese. Then the bird sang a beautiful song. Dave was very happy and paid eight thousand dollars for the bird. The next day Dave sent the bird to his mother with a birthday card.

The day after his mother’s birthday he called his mother. “Well, mother” he asked, “What do you think of the bird?”

“Oh, it’s very delicious, dear.” said his mother.
