Rich or poor?

An ultra rich father once took his son to a near by village to demonstrate to his son what poverty is really about and how he should consider himself lucky for the riches he has been given.

After the trip, the father asked his son about poverty…

The son replied very sincerely – 
We have 1 dog, They had 4….

We have a small pool, They have a long river…

We have lamps, They have stars….

We have a small piece of land, They have large fields……

We buy food,  They grow theirs eat fresh…….

We play with computers, They play with real friends …..

We have money which is supposed to make us happy,  They have happiness hence they do not need money..

Their fathers have time for their children, Our fathers don’t have…….

The boy’s dad was speechless…..

The boy then concluded, “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”
