Question

One day a father of a very rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their _______, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked. "Oh Yeah." said the son. "So what did you _______ from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool that _______ to the middle of our garden and they have a creek(小溪)that has no end. We have imported lanterns(燈籠)in our garden and they have the _______ at night. Our patio(院子)reaches to the front yard and they have the _______ horizon(地平線). We have a small piece of land to live on and they have _______ 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 _______ around our property(財產(chǎn))to protect us, but they have friends to protect them."

With this the boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks dad for showing me how _______ we are."

Too many times we _______ what we have and concentrate on(把注意力集中在)what we don't have. What is one person's ________ object is another's prize possession. It is all based on one's perspective(觀點). Make you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for all the bounty(恩賜)we have, instead of worrying about wanting more. Take joy in all you have, especially your friends.
