Who Is The Rich Man?

 

One day a wealthy father took his son on a trip to the country so that the son

could see how the poor lived. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very

poor family. When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, " How

was the trip? " " Very good, Dad! " " Did you see how poor people can be? " " Yeah! "

" 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 house; they

have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they have the whole

horizon. " When the little boy was finished, the father was speechless. His son

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

 

 

 

What Money Can and Cannot Buy

 

 

A bed, but not sleep.

A bible, but not faith.

Books, but not brains.

Food, but not appetite.

Finery, but not beauty.

Clothes, but not style.

A house, but not a home.

Medicine, but not health.

Luxuries, but not culture.

Amusements, but not happiness.

Companions, but not friends.

Flattery, but not respect.
