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 on 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!" exclaimed the son. "And what did you learn?" asked the father.
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
finished, his father was speechless. His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how 'poor' we are!"
Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good
humor and a positive attitude towards life -- you've got everything! You can't buy any of these things. You
may have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc.; but if you are poor of
spirit, you have nothing!
