What It Means To be Poor


Once a man , who belongs to a very rich family decided to plan a trip to a poor  country





to show the life of poor people to his son  and how they live . They spent few days on the farm of a poor family .After returning father asked his son about his experience , about trip.

“ trip was Great “
“  What did you see about the life of poor and how they live “ father asked .
“ Oh yeah “  Son Said .
“ So , tell me , from trip , what did you learn “ Father Asked.
Son replied “ They had four dogs while we have just one , They had a endless creek while we had a pool .We have Imported lanterns in our garden while they have stars at  night .Our patio reaches front yard while they have whole horizon . We have a little land where we live while they have endless fields . They serve others , we have servants.They grow their own food while we buy.
Their friends protect them ,but we have walls around property for protection.
Now after hearing this , Father was speechless .
Then his son said “ Thanks Dad ,for showing me how poor we are “.
