Are You Rich or Poor ?


One day a father and his rich family took his son to a trip to the
country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be…….
They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family.

"Son how was the trip?" father asked after the trip.
"Very good Dad"
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Yeah", the son smiled.
"And what did you learn?"
The son answered,

"I saw that we have a dog at home, but they have four......
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, but they
have a creek that has no end.....
We have imported lamps in the garden, but they have the stars....
Our patio reaches to the front yard, but they have a whole horizon."
When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

His son added,
"Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

Life is simple, its you who make it miserable. Everything seems to be working if you are cool and calm. Destiny is in your hands mold it your way.

So very true but still people tend to ignore the word SHARING!
