How the poor live...

How the poor live... by _ShAnE_StArK_ 2015/05/22 08:14
One day, a father of a very wealthy family
took his son on a trip to the country with the
firm purpose of showing his son how poor
people live. They spent a couple of days and
nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family. On their return
from their trip, the father asked his son, How
was the trip?
It was great, Dad.
Did you see how poor people live? the father
asked.
Oh yeah, said the son.
So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?
asked the father.
The son answered, I saw that we have one
dog and they had four. We have a pool that
reaches to the middle of our garden, and they
have a creek that has no end. We have
imported lanterns in our garden, and they have
the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the
front yard, and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on, and
they have fields that go beyond our sight. We
have servants who serve us, but they serve
others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect
us; they have friends to protect them.
The boys father was speechless.
Then his son added, Thanks, Dad, for showing
me how poor we are...
