Perspective

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son, how poor people live...............

They spent couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from the trip father asked his son, " How was the trip, Son?"

Son replied, "It was great, Dad."

"Did you saw how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh, yes", said the son. 

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" Asked father.

The son answered,"I saw that we have one dog and they have four. We have small pool and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in garden and they have stars at night. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants to serve u and they serve others. We buy our food but they grow theirs."

The boy's father was speechless. Then the son added, " Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
