Story with a Moral- One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing his son how the poor live. They spent a couple of days and nights on a farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?". The son replied, " It was great Dad". "Did you see how poor people live, father asked. The son answered, " I noticed that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches 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 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 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 boys father was speechless....:) Then his son added, "Thanks dad for showing me, how poor we are....! MORAL: The Mind in its own place in itself, it can make a paradise out of adversity or create a prison from blessing.
