How Poor We Really Are
我们是多么贫穷

One day a wealthy family man took his son on a trip to the country so he could have his son see how poor country people were.
They stayed one day and one night in the farmhouse of a very humble farm. On the way back home at the end of the trip the father asked the son,“What did you think of the trip?”
The son replied,“Very nice, Dad.”
The father then asked,“Did you notice how poor they were?”
The son replied,“Yes, I guess so.”
The father then added,“And what did you learn?”
To this question, the son thought for a moment and answered slowly,“I learned that we have one dog in the house and they have four. We have a fountain in the garden and they have a stream that has no end. We have fancy lanterns in our garden, while they have the stars. Our garden goes to the edge of our yard, but for their back yard they have the entire horizon!”
At the end of the son's reply, the rich father was speechless. His son then added,“Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we really are.”
Isn't it true that all depends on the lens you use to see life?

一天，一个富有的爸爸带着儿子进行了一次乡村之旅，他想让儿子明白乡下人是多么贫穷。
他们在一个寒酸的农场待了一天一夜。在旅程结束返家的路上，爸爸问儿子：“你觉得这次旅行怎么样？”
儿子回答：“非常好，爸爸。”
爸爸接着问：“你有没有注意到他们是多么贫穷啊？”
儿子答道：“是的，或许是吧。”
爸爸追问道：“那你有什么收获啊？”
这个问题，儿子想了一会儿，慢条斯理地回答道：“我看到我们家只有一只狗，而他们却有四只。我们花园里有一个喷水池，而他们却有一条没有尽头的小河。我们花园里有灯笼，他们却有无数星星。我们院子的尽头就是花园，而他们的后院却有开阔的视野。”
儿子说完后，这个富有的爸爸无言以对。儿子接着说道：“谢谢你，爸爸，让我明白了我们是多么贫穷。”
一切在于看待生活的方式，难道不是吗？
