[Users] How poor are we?

[John Holcomb II]

	One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip
to the country

	with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

	They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.

	On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was
the trip?'

	'It was great, Dad.'

	'Did you see how poor people live?' the father aske

'Oh yeah,' said the son.

	'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father.

	The son answered:

	'I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

	We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they
have a creek that has no end.

	We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at
night.

	Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

	We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that
go beyond our sight.

	We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.

	We buy our food

	, but they grow theirs.

	We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends
to protect them.'

	The boy's father was speechless.

	Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.' 

	Makes ya think, doesn't it ?
