LOVELY SKY

LOVELY SKY

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. 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 trip, the father asked his son:"How was the trip?"
son:"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 have 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 have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields 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 walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added:" Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Makes you wonder?! What would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worring about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends.

روزى پدر خانواده اى بسيار ثروتمند پسرش را با خود به روستايى برد تا به او نشان دهد كه مردم فقير چگونه زندگى مى كنند. آنها چند روزى را در مزرعه خانواده اى كه تصور مى كردند فقيرند، گذراندند
در بازگشت، پدر از پسر پرسيد: " چگونه سفرى داشتى؟ " پر بار پدر
" ديدى كه چگونه مردم فقير زندگى مى كنند؟ "
" بله"
" پس به من بگو در اين سفر چه ها ياد گرفتى؟ "
ديدم ما يك سگ داريم و آنها چهارتا، استخر ما فقط تا وسط باغچه كشيده شده و جوى خانه آنها انتهايى ندارد. ما در باغچه مان فانوس داريم و آنها در شب ستاره ها را. ايوان خانه ما مشرف به حياط جلويى است و آنها سر تا سر افق را دارند. ما فقط تكه زمينى براى زندگى داريم، و آنها مرتع هايى دارند كه تا چشم كار مى كند ادامه دارد. ما مستخدمانى داريم كه خدمت مان را مى كنند ولى آنها به ديگران خدمت مى كنند. ما غذامان را مى خريم ولى آنها غذاشان را مى كارند. ما دورمان را ديوارى كشيده ايم تا محافظت مان كند و آنها دوستانى دارند كه محافظت شان مى كنند
زبان پدر بند آمد. متشكرم پدر كه نشانم دادى ما چه اندازه فقيريم
تعجب مى كنيد؟
اگر به جاى نگرانى براى آنچه نداريم، از داشته هامان شاكر مى بوديم
قدر همه چيزهايى را كه داريد بدانيد، به خصوص دوستانتان را
