One day, a rich man decided to take his young son to the village to show how poor people are. They spent day and night on the farm with a very poor family.
When he returned home, he asked his son if he liked the trip.
— It was wonderful, Dad! he said.
— What did our trip show you?
— I saw that we had one dog in the house and they had four dogs. We have a pool in the garden, and they have a bay from which you can see the endless sea. We light our gardens at night with light bulbs and they shine the stars.
The father was speechless, and the son added:
— Thank you, Dad, for showing me how rich people can be.
