A BIT OF HUMOR

One day, a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country 
with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a 
couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor 
family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the 
trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had 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 our sight. 
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they 
grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; 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."
