WHO IS RICH

One day a wealthy father took his son on a trip

to the country so that the son could see how the

poor lived. They spent a day and a night at 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?" "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 house; they have the

stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they

have the whole horizon." When the little boy was

finished, the father was speechless. His son then

added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"
