How Rich Are You?
One day a rich father took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a day and a night on the farm of a very poor family.
When they returned back from their trip the father asked his son, “How did you enjoy the trip? Did you see how poor people can be?”
The son replied, “Yes, I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, they have stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.”
When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.
His son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!”
