Our patio reaches to 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 our 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."
我们的露台只到前院,地平线之前都是他们的地盘。我们只居住在一小块地方,他们的土地在目力所及之外。我们有佣人服务我们,而他们服务他人。我们的食物要买,他们的自己种。我们要靠墙来保护自己的财产,他们有自己的朋友。”

父亲无言以对,随后儿子补充说:“谢谢爸爸让我体会到我们是多么的贫穷。”
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
