Isn't this so real?

One day the father of a rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing him how poor people are. They spent a couple of days on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.On their return from their trip, 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?" said the father. "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 that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden, and they the stars. Our patio goes to the front yard and they have the horizon. We have a piece of land to live on and they have fields that go out of 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. Thanks for showing us how poor we are."
