Who's Rich and Who's Poor?

One day a rich man took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing his son how fortunate he was and how poor many other people were. They spent a day and night at the home of a humble farmer. When they got back from their trip the father asked the son, "How was the trip?"

"Very good, Father," replied his son.

"Do you now see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Yes," said the son.
