Perspectives

One day a father and his rich family took his young
 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 back 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, his father was
speechless.

His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how
poor we are!"
