Rich & Poor

One day a wealthy dad took his son on a trip to village.  He wanted to show him how poor someone can be. 

They spent time on the farm of a poor family and soaked in as much as they could.
On the ride home the dad asked, “what did you see?”

The boy answered, “we have one dog… they have four, we have a pool… they have rivers, we have lights at night… they have stars, we buy food… they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us… they have friends.”

The dad was surprised.  In hoping to show the boy how poor THEY WERE the son was able to show his father how much THEY HAD. 


After a pause the boy said, “Thanks dad for showing me it is not about money that makes us rich it’s about simplicity and appreciation.”
