Love, Unity, Care, Satisfaction is richer than any comfort money gives

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his daughter 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, “How was the trip?”

“It was great, Dad.”

“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.

“Oh yeah,” said the daughter.

 Father asked  “So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?”

The daughter 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 girls’s father was speechless.
Then his daughter added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Moral : Love, Unity, Care, Satisfaction is richer than any comfort money gives.
