Our
Worth
One day a
father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the
country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people
can be.
They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor
family.
When they got home from their trip, the father asked his
son, "How
was the trip?" "Very good Dad!" "Did
you see how poor people can be?"
the father asked. "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 garden, they
have the stars.
Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole
horizon."
When the little boy was finishing, the father was
speechless. His
son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we
are!"
