One day a rich man took his son on a trip to a village. He wanted to tell his son how rich and fortunate they were while the people in the villages were so poor. He spent a few days on a poor man's farm and then returned back to his home. While returning home, the rich man asked his son – “Have you seen how poor people are and what kind of life they live? The son said, “Yes, I saw.” “We have one dog and they have four”.
“We have a little swimming pool and they have a whole river.” “We have some expensive lanterns imported from abroad to light the night and they have billions of stars that shine at night.” “We buy our food from the market while they grow their own food in their own farms. We are a small family of five people, whereas his entire village is his family.
“We have a little garden to walk around in the open air and they have a whole land that never ends.” “We have big walls around our house to protect us and they have good friends to protect them.” The rich man was unable to say anything after listening to his son's words. The son concluded his speech by saying, “Thank you, father, for telling me how poor we are..!”
