Dan Asmussen shared this story on Facebook and now it is going viral!
The short anecdote is about a father and son. The father is wealthy and, believing his son will learn from the trip, he takes the little guy to “see how poor people live.”
The dad thinks the encounter will motivate his son to work hard so that he never his live like those people. What his son learns instead blows the father away.
Sometimes it’s those who are poor in material possessions that have the most to give. Recently, ahomeless woman gave all her money to a homeless family she didn’t even know.
Mother Teresa once said, “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”
See what the son said to his father below and SHARE if you were taken aback by the little boy’s wisdom too!
