poor?? rich??


who is poor and who is rich??


one day..


A 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 ang night on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family..


On their returned from the trip,the father asked his son..


>>How was the trip?


++ It was great Dad


>>Did you see how poor people live?


++ Oh yeah!!


>>So,tell me what you learned from the trip?


++ The son answered..


I saw that we have one dog but they have 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..

We have servants to serve us,but they serve others..

We have walls around our property to protect us but 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 things??


Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we dont have...




APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE THING YOU HAVE!!!!!
