The Father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country side to show his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and night in a farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On thier retuurn from the trip the father asked the son, how was the trip? It was great trip dad, the son replied. Did you see how the poor people live? father asked again. "oh yeah" said the son. So tell me what did you learn from the trip? asked father. The Son answered " I saw we had one dog they had four, we have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no ends, we have imported lanterns in our garden they have twinkling stars at the night, our patio reaches the front yard and they have the whole horizon, we have a small place of land to live on they have fields that go beyond, we have servents who serve us they serve and help others, we buy our food they grow it for all, we have wall around our property to protect us they have friends standind beside them to protect. Really dad I realised how poor live." The father remain unanswered.
