One day, a father of a very rich family took his son on a trip to the country（乡村）The father wanted to show his son how poor people live. They spent a few days and nights on the farm of a very poor family. Before they went home, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah, " said the son.
"So, tell me what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek（小溪） that has no end. We have lanterns（提灯） in our garden，and they have the stars at night. We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go out of our sight（视线）. We ask others to serve（服务）us but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have tall walls to keep us safe，they have friends to keep them safe. "
The boy's father said nothing.
Then his son said, "Thanks Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
