Story 40-How poor we were(我们是多么贫穷啊）

One day a wealthy man took his son on the trip to the country so he could have his son see how poor country people were.
They stayed one day and one night in the rough farmhouse. On the way back home father asked his son, "What did you think of the trip?" The son replied, "very nice, Dad."
The father then asked, "did you notice how poor they were?"
The son replied, "Yes, I guess so."
Then father then added, "and what did you learn?"
The son thought for a moment and answered slowly, "I have noticed that we have one dog but they have four. We have a fountain in the garden but they have an endless stream. We have fancy lanterns in our garden, but they have the stars. There's a garden in the yard, but they have endless sightseeing in their backyard!"
Hearing that, the father was speechless. His son then added: "Thanks Dad, for showing me how poor we really are."
Isn't it true that all depends on the way you think?
If you have love, friend, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life, you've got everything.
All these can't be acquired by money. You can possess anything you want or preparation for the future. However, if you are poor in spirit, you still possess nothing.
