The father took his wealthy son on a trip to experience how poor people live. They stayed with a poor family on their farm for a few days. When they returned, the father asked the son what he learned. The son said that while they have many luxuries, the poor family had friends and a sense of community to rely on. He thanked his father for teaching him how little they truly need to be happy. Perspective is important - we should appreciate what we have rather than focus on what we lack.
