Once upon a time in a rich family, a father and son decided to go for the trip to the nearby village.
Father wanted to show his son how poor someone can be. They have spent their whole life without shelter and food who used to do farming.
The poor family spent their whole time farming so that they can have food on their plate and have shelter with their earnings.
On the return of the trip, the father asked his son "How was the trip?"
Son replied with a good thought "It was great, Dad".
Then father asked his son "Did you see how poor people live?"
Son replied with doubt "Oh yes".
Father asked son "Tell me, What did you learn from the trip?"
Then son began to answer "We have one dog, they have four dogs, we have a pool, they have a river with so much water, we have tube-lights at night, they have so many stars, we buy food, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends, we have a TV, music player, Mobile, they spend time with family and relatives.
The Boy's father was speechless about the thoughts his son had shared with him.
Then his son added that "Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are comparing with them."
Moral of the story:
It is not the luxury things we keep, that makes us rich,
It is the simplicity, love, compassion, friendships, values, the family that makes our life rich.
