The rich man brought his son in a poor neighborhood, that he appreciate all that they have

One day, a very rich man took his son on a trip to the country with the sole purpose - to show the boy what it means to live without money. Some days they spent on the farm have a very poor family.





Upon returning home, his father asked him if he liked the trip. "Like father," - said the boy. "Did you see how poor people can be?" - Asked the man. "Oh, yes!" - Was the answer. "And what you learned from our journey?" - Again the father asked.

The son replied: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a swimming pool to the middle of the garden, and they have a creek that has no end. In our garden lights shine overseas, and they have the stars shine at night. We have a terrace to the front yard and they have open spaces to the horizon. We have a small plot of land on which we live, and they have endless fields, which can not take a view. We buy food, but they grow it themselves. We have walls around the house for protection, but they have friends ».

The boy's father stood numb. Then the son said, "I figured out how we really are poor».

We too often forget that we have and focus on what we have. What one of us - a cheap little thing, for others - a valuable prize. All depends only on your point of view you look at it. Sometimes the child's opinion reminds us of what is really important in this life.
