One day, a financially successful enough father decides to take his son to the countryside to show him how poor some people may happen to be in contrast to them, who live in a nice house in the suburbs of a big city. Like this, his son could understand the value of things, and how lucky he is.
So they went to the countryside and spent one day and one night in a simple countryside home. On the road back home, the father asked his son:
"So, what did you think of this little trip?"
"It was great, Dad!"
"Did you see how poor some people are?"
"Yes."
"And so what did you see during the trip?"
"I saw that we have one dog, they have four. We have a pool at home, they live by a beautiful lake. The street lamps give us light in our garden, whereas they get the light of a million stars. Our backyard's end is at the fence, theirs as far as the eye can see. And finally, I saw they had the time to talk to each other and live like a happy family. You and Mum, however, work all day and I barely see you."
The father just keeps driving without a word, and the kid adds:
"Thanks, Dad, for showing me how rich we could be..."
