我們是多么貧窮

一帆

A wealthy man took his son on a trip to the country so he could have his son see how poor country people were.

They stayed one day and one night in the farmhouse of a very humble farm. On the way back home at the end of the trip the father asked the son， “What did you think of the trip？” The son replied， “Very nice， Dad.” The father then asked， “Have you noticed how poor they were？” The son replied， “Yes， I guess so.” The father then added， “And what did you learn？”

The son thought for a moment and answered slowly， “I learned that we have one dog in the house and they have four. We have a fountain in the garden and they have a stream that has no end. We have fancy lanterns in our garden， while they have the stars. Our garden goes to the edge of our yard， but for their back yard they have the entire horizon！” The son then added， “Thanks， Dad， for showing me how poor we really are.”

Isnt it true that all depends on the lens you use to see life？ If you have love， friends， family， health， good humor and a positive attitude toward life， youve got everything！ You can have all the material possessions you can imagine， but if you are poor of spirit， you have nothing！

一位富有的爸爸帶著兒子去農(nóng)村，他想讓兒子明白鄉(xiāng)下人是多么貧窮。

他們在一個偏僻的農(nóng)場呆了一天一夜。旅程結(jié)束了，在回家的路上，爸爸問兒子：“你覺得這次旅行怎么樣？”兒子回答：“非常好，爸爸。”爸爸接著問：“你有沒有注意到他們有多窮？”兒子答道：“是的，或許是吧。”爸爸追問道：“那你都學(xué)到了些什么？”

兒子想了一會兒，慢條斯理地回答：“我知道了我們家有一只狗，而他們有四只。我們花園里有一個噴水池，而他們有一條沒有盡頭的小河。我們花園里有別致的燈籠，而他們有無數(shù)的星星。我們的花園被院子圍著，而他們的后院一直延伸到地平線?！眱鹤舆€補(bǔ)充道：“謝謝你，爸爸，讓我明白我們是多么貧窮。”

一切取決于看問題的角度，不是嗎？如果你擁有了愛情、朋友、家庭、健康、幽默和對待生活的積極態(tài)度，你就擁有了一切。你可以擁有你想象中的任何物質(zhì)財富，但假若你精神上貧窮，你將仍舊一無所有。endprint
