<P>One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the
country</P>
<P>with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.</P>
<P>They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.</P>
<P>On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was the
trip?'</P>
<P>'It was great, Dad.'</P>
<P>'Did you see how poor people live?' the father aske</P></DIR><FONT

<P>'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father.</P>
<P>The son answered:</P>

<P>We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek
that has no end.</P>
<P>We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.</P>
<P>Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.</P>
<P>We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond
our sight.</P>
<P>We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.</P>
<P>We buy our food</P></DIR><FONT color=#545454><FONT color=#545454>

<P>, but they grow theirs.</P>
<P>We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect
them.'</P>
<P>The boy's father was speechless.</P>
<P>Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.'<SPAN
