Who is the rich??? & …. Who is the poor??

Once upon a time, there were a very rich man who went with his son in a journey to a poor country to show him how poor people are living.

They stayed for several days in a farm that a poor family live in.



When they were coming back to their home, the rich man asked his son: How was the journey?
The son said: It was excellent.

Father: Did you see how poor people are living.
Son: Yes.

Father: So, tell me… What did you learn from this trip?


Son: I saw that we own one dog…….. and they own 4 dogs.


We have a pool of water in the middle of our garden……. and they have stream without end.




We use lanterns to lighten our garden…… and they have the stars glister in the sky.




Our courtyard ends with the front garden…… and their courtyard extend to the horizon.



We have a small area to live on it……. and they have areas exceeding the fields.



We have servants to serve us……. and they serve each other.



We buy our food……… and they eat what they cultivate.


We have high walls to protect us……….. and they have friends to protect them.



The rich man was silent. Then, his son continued saying:
“Thank you Dad, because you show me how poor we are”
