The Difference Between Rich/Poor People?

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip

to the country with the express purpose of showing him 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 other

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to

protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would

happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of

worrying about what we don't have.

As i have always say, money is not most important thing...! Even some ppl have **** load of money, it dosent necessarily make them happy...!

Lots of things I'm thankful for! My life here is much simpler and humbler than life in the USA in many ways, but I prefer it that way.

Thank you for making my day

Thanks for that story :-)
