Three Gifts(三份礼物)

今天我要给大家讲述我在课外英语阅读课文中的一篇十分有趣的文章：（文章包涵英文，译文）

英文原文：
Three rich men sent their elderly mother gifts for her 70th birthday.The first son bought her a huge house , the second a Mercedes and the third a very expensive parrot that could recite the Bible .
"Thank you for the gift of a house," she wrote to her first son , "But the place is so big that I have to spend all day keeping it clean and tidy.
"Thanks for the Mercedes ," she wrote to her second son , "But I am too old to travel and will rarely use it."
"You know what your mother likes ," she praised her third son ,"The chicken was delicious !"

中文翻译：
有三个富有的男人送给他们年老母亲70岁生日礼物。第一个男的送了一个别墅给她，第二个送了一个奔驰跑车给她，第三个则送了支昂贵的，还会背诵圣经鹦鹉给母亲。
“谢谢你送我的房子,"母亲给她的第一个儿子写到，“但是这个房子太大了，我每天都要花费许多时间来打扫。”
“谢谢你送我的奔驰，”她给他的二儿子写到，“但是我现在太老了，很少开车出去了。”
“还是你知道你妈妈喜欢什么，”她给她的第三个儿子写道，“这只鸡十分好吃！”
