One day a rich father 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 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?"
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"你看到穷人的生活了吗？”父亲问道。
"Yeah!" "And what did you learn?"
“是的！”“那你从中学到了什么呢？”
The son 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.
当小男孩说完的时候，他的父亲目瞪口呆。
His son added, "Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are!"
他的儿子接着又补充道：“谢谢爸爸让我看到我们是多么贫穷！”
Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, you've got everything!
