Children, do you remember the day you may have gone with your father on a trip?
And how much you enjoy travelling with him? Today let us read the story ‘RICH
DAD & WISE SON’ and see what happens.
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the countryside
with the purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days
and nights on a farm with a very poor family.
Upon their return from the trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad,” replied the son.
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh, yes,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what did you learn from the
trip?” The son replied, “We have a poolpool
that reaches the middle of our garden
and they have a river that has no end.
We have imported imported lamps in our garden
and they have the stars at night. Our
veranda reaches to the front yard and
they have the whole horizonhorizon.”
“We have a small piece of land to live
on and they have fields that go beyond
our sight.”
