One day a father and his rich family took their young son on
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 have got everything.
