TRUE WEALTH

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing his son how the poor people live so he could be thankful for his wealth.


They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of that what would be considered a very poor familyOn their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “how was the trip”? It was great, Dad.” “Did you see how poor people can be”? the father asked. “oh yeah” said the son. “so what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father



The son answered “I saw that we have one dog and they had three. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a sea that has no end”. We have light chambers in our garden they have the stars at night.” Our courtyard reaches to the front and they have the whole sphere.”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. 


WITH THIS boy’s father was speechless. THEN his son added “thanks dad how poor we are.
