A Trip to the Country One day a father and his rich family took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” The boy replied, “Very good, Dad!” The father continued, “Did you see how poor people can be?” The boy just said, “Yeah!” The father asked again, “And what did you learn?” The boy answered, “I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars; our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon. When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless. The son added, “Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are!”
