A father of a very wealthy family took his son on vacation to a country with the express of showing him how poor people live and how they suffer.
They spent couple of days and night on that vacation on the farm of what would be considered a poor and guttersnipe family.

After the vacation was over while returning back the father asked his son how was the vacation?"

"It was great, dad"

"Hope you saw how poor people live there life, the father asked?"

Yes dad"said by his son

So tell me what you learnt from our vacation"asked by his father

The son answered: " I learnt that we have have one dog and they had four, we have a pool that leads to the middle of the garden but they have a creek that has no end, we have important 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 serves us but they serve others, we buy our good but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boys father became shocked and speachless

Then his son added, "Thanks dad for showing me how much poor we are."

My fellow brothers and sisters do you know love, unity, care and satisfaction is richer than any comfort money gives, thinks about it.

Money is not everything

My fellow brothers and sisters do you know love, unity, care and satisfaction is richer than any comfort money gives, thinks
about it.

Indeed money is just a means to better our lives and not a a source to happiness. Thanks for creativity and giving us a nice lesson @jokkystar
