how poor we are?

One day a father and his rich family took his son to 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.
"Son, How was the trip?", father asked after the trip.
"Very good Dad!"


"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Yeah!", the son smiled.


"And what did you learn?"
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.


His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

Our outlook on life depends on the way you look at things. What others may think as riches, others may want. The most important things in life are your friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life. If you have these then you have everything!

How poor are we?



One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son 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 his son,

"How was the trip?"


"It was great, Dad."

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

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?" asked the father.



The son 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 boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added,

"Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."



Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him said.

Riches does not mean having a great amount of property, real wealth is self-contentment.
