How Poor are YOU?

One day a very rich father took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing him just how poor some 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!" his son replied.

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Yeah!" he responded.

"And what did you learn?" the father asked.

The son answered, "I saw that we have one 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, and 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!"
