How Poor Are We?
One day
a father and his rich family took his son
to a trip to the country
with the firm purpose to show
him how poor people can
be.
They
spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they
got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the
trip?"
"Very good Dad!"
"Did you see how
poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Yeah!"
"And what did you learn?"
The son answered, "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, they have
a creek that has no end.
We have imported lamps in
the garden, they have the stars. Our
patio
reaches to the front
yard, they have a whole horizon."
When the little boy was finishing,
his father was
speechless.
His son added,
"Thanks Dad for showing
me how poor we are!"
Isn't it true that it
all depends
on the way you look
at things?
If you have love,
friends, family, health,
good humor
and a positive
attitude towards life
--
you've got everything!
