There was a boy, whose
family was very wealthy. One day
his father took him on a trip to the
country, where he aimed to show
his son, how poor people live. So
they arrived to a farm of a very poor
family, as he considered. They spent
there several days. On their return,
the father asked his son, did he like
the trip.
“Oh, it was great, dad” – the
boy replied. “Did you notice how
poor people live?” “Yeah, I did”-
said the boy. The father asked his
son to tell in more details about his
impressions from their trip.
“Well, we have only one dog,
and they have four of them. In our
garden there is a pool, while they
have a river that has no end. We‘ve
got expensive lanterns, but they
have stars above their heads at night.
We have the pa•o, and they have
the whole horizon. We have only a
small piece of land, while they have
the endless fields. We buy food, but
they grow it. We have high fence for
protection of our property, and they
don‘t need it, as their friends protect
them.”
The father was stunned. He
could not say a word.
The true wealth as well
as happiness is not measured by
materials things. Love, friendship
and freedom are far more valuable.
