[albboschurch at juno.com]

One day a father of a wealthy family took his son on a trip to the
country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.\\On 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, they had four. We have a
pool that reaches to the middle of our yard and they have a creek that
has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have stars
at night.

"Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We
have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond
our sight. We have servants and 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 the father was speechless.  Then the son added, "Thanks Dad for
showing me how poor we are."
