Rich Man Took His Son To See What It Was Like To Be Poor …What His Son Said After Left Him Speechless
A very rich and wealthy man in a big town once took his son on a trip, he wanted to show off to his son how rich his father was and how he made him very proud and more so to see how poor people who are not opportune live.
They visited a farmer and spent time on their farm and environment. After much of the day’s sight seeing, they decided to take their leave.
On their way home, the father asked, “Did you see how poor they are? What did you learn from this short trip son?”.
Son kept mute for a while and later said, “We have one dog, they have four, we have a pool, they have rivers, we have lights sparkling at night, they have stars. We are served by servants, but they serve people. We are protected by huge and strong walls around our property, but they bond with each other and surround themselves. we buy our food, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends, we have encyclopaedias’, they have The Bible.”
The son said, “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are, I never knew”
MORAL LESSON:
True wealth is not all about piling up treasures. It is in the friendship, relationship and good compassion we share with the others.
