how poor a rich person is..... - 19th March 2004, 09:23 AM

> One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son
> on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of
> showing his son 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 others. 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.
> Appreciate every single thing you have.
